      The unjustified persecution complex here is epic. Here a highly successful white screenwriter has the temerity to liken the "plight" of antivaxers to the experience of black people in the US. SMH. 🤦‍♂️pic.twitter.com/qHJj41gExO

      For those not aware, @TerryRossio is a highly successful screenwriter and producer. He's been nominated for an Oscar and has screenwriting credits for Aladdin, Shrek, and all five Pirates of the Caribbean films. 2/

      He also optioned Andrew Wakefield's 2010 book "Callous Disregard" with director and physician Dr. Jocelyn Stamat. There were stories about this in 2016, but I hadn't heard anything about it recently.https://variety.com/2016/film/news/callous-disregard-movie-vaxxed-1201762084/ …

      The most recent mention I saw of it was in June in this interview with Dr. Stamat about another of her efforts. 4/ https://www.thefourohfive.com/film/article/a-film-that-raises-more-questions-than-it-answers-is-a-great-film-meet-director-jocelyn-stamat-m-d-152 …

      And Mr. Rossio is doubling down in asserting equivalence between using the word "antivaxer" and using the "n-word." It's ahistorical offensive nonsense for more reasons than I can easily enumerate in a brief Tweetstorm. 5/

      However, to see a successful, privileged, wealthy white screenwriter seriously make such a comparison tells me all I need to know about the movie adaptation of "Callous Disregard" he and Stamat are working on. 6/

      If it's ever completed, the film version of "Callous Disregard" will almost certainly be hagiography of one Andrew Wakefield, the scientific fraud who almost single-handedly caused the resurgence of measles in the UK and elsewhere with his awful @TheLancet case series. 7/

      As for @terryrossio's equating using "antivaxer" to calling a black person the "n-word," that's just epically stupid. Being an antivaxer is a CHOICE, and calling someone out for his or her harmful CHOICES is justified. I doubt Mr. Rossio will understand that. 8/8

          Unjustified persecution with no basis in reality IS pathological relative to MH! Like White men with their unjustified paranoia of all that is not WHITE & MALE, their victimhood identity& delusional superiority, if presenting in office (&assuming no additional symptoms) (1)

          this too fits the diagnostic spectrum for paranoia and delusional disorders and yes we really should start talking about this.....Weve done t/ whole "say nothing" BS out of some misplaced professional "code" but its not helping anyone, in fact, its hurting.(2)

          Choosing to be an antivaxer is choosing to be ignorant and dangerous to yourself and others.

          "Anti-vax" seems a technically correct and appropriate adjective. Whereas the n word is just pejorative.

          And comparing the relatively mild (and not even universal) public/social media shaming that anti-vaxxers get to the centuries of individual and institutional racism and often deadly violence directed at black people (with or w/o the N word) is beyond disgusting.
