    WTF, @Slate? Why are you publishing such irresponsible nonsense?https://twitter.com/kellyfolkers/status/1096032893325975552 …

    Oh, boy. Measles is spreading WORLDWIDE. Saying that we shouldn't worry about a small increase in measles deaths by arguing that people are more likely to die in other ways is whataboutism. Medical misinformation spreads faster than accurate info. https://slate.com/technology/2019/02/measles-outbreak-clark-county-overblown.html?fbclid=IwAR3wird2RtJCj_qoJzCW2fspLt6mO0a4xVDdLKEKT3KHMnZYB-41dCs9ST0 …

        Slate also ran some dodgy Nordic Cochrane HPV nonsense a while back. I have no joy getting a counter in either..

        They are missing that it was the media that allowed Wakefield to scare everyone... Not this time @Slate!https://vaxopedia.org/2017/07/23/vaccine-scare-stories/ …

        No need to worry about small problems when you can just wait until they are big problems, then you can start worrying...

        The headline is worse than the article. I agree that we shouldn’t give the antivaxxers undue popularity. They are the fringe of the fringe, and he’s not saying not to be vigilant, or to ignore them, or that it’s not a big deal.

        Unfortunately, @susanematthews & @danengber discount that anti-vaccine sentiment is a national problem because it is transmitted over the internet. Measles is a big deal. And even many "mainstream" parents refuse to give their children vaccines against deadly HPV and influenza.pic.twitter.com/awdH2Vz82M
