      You shouldn't be surprised. Antivaxers have successfully co-opted the language of anti-regulation, small government, "freedom," and "parental rights."

      As a result of the successful co-optation by antivaxers of the language of "freedom," even though antivaccine views have roughly the same prevalence on the left and the right, the @GOP has become the antivaccine party.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/10/25/the-republican-party-has-become-the-antivaccine-party/ …

      That bit by @DrMarkGreen4TN about the @CDCgov having "fraudulently managed" data comes straight from an antivaccine conspiracy theory known as the #CDCwhistleblower. The idea is that the CDC "knew" vaccines cause autism but covered it up.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/12/12/brian-hookers-antivaccine-pseudoscience-has-risen-from-the-dead-to-threaten-children-again/ …

      Having followed in detail the #CDCwhistleblower conspiracy theory since it started and having studied it in depth, I'm saying that nothing Thompson has said or shown is good evidence that the @CDCgov has "covered up" data showing a link between vaccines and autism.

      Be careful what you ask for. You might get it. I've been writing about this conspiracy theory since it first took shape in August 2014. I'm intimately familiar with it. Here's an analysis of the transcripts of four of Thompson's phone conversations.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/vaccine-whistleblower-an-antivaccine-expose-full-of-sound-and-fury-signifying-nothing/ …

      And here's a legal analysis by my friend @doritmi on the very same transcripts published by Kevin Barry about #CDCwhistleblower.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/review-of-vaccine-whistleblower-a-legal-perspective/ …

      And here's an analysis of the bad epidemiology used by Brian Hooker in his "reanalysis" of the original dataset at the heart of the #CDCwhistleblower conspiracy theory.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/vaccine-whistleblower-bj-hooker-and-william-thompson-try-to-talk-about-epidemiology/ …

      Replying to @gorskon @AnnaMaeRPS and

      Hilariously, after having had his "reanalysis" retracted by one journal, Brian Hooker finally got it published...in the journal of a conspiracy-loving right-wing doctors' group disguised as a medical society. Very appropriate.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/12/12/brian-hookers-antivaccine-pseudoscience-has-risen-from-the-dead-to-threaten-children-again …

      Of course, #CDCwhistleblower was the conspiracy at the heart of Andrew Wakefield's antivaccine propaganda film disguised as a documentary, #vaxxedthemovie.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/andrew-wakefields-vaxxed-antivaccine-propaganda-at-its-most-pernicious/ …
