Kate StarbirdVerified account @katestarbirdNews coverage yesterday noted research documenting how Russian trolls spread anti-vaccine content (online) in 2016. I think it’s important to step back and see the larger picture… this is one of MANY conversations they infiltrated.

David Gorski, MD, PhDVerified account @gorskonReplying to @gorskon @_eleanorina and 3 othersWhat probably happened is that Prof. Gøtzsche pulled out when the Twitter shitstorm rubbed his face in the fact that he'd be appearing with leaders of the antivaccine movement at an antivaccine conference organized by an antivaccine group.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
Replying to @_eleanorina @NightShiftMD and
Actually, I DO know my guess was not far from what actually happened. I know based on a Danish language news report. Gøtzsche said he agreed to speak because he shared PIC'S opposition to "mandatory" vaccination but didn't realize he'd share the stage with hard core antivaxers.

And yes, it was the Twitter shitstorm that let Gøtzsche know that RFK Jr., Mary Holland, Toni Bark, and the PIC lawyers are antivaccine. It was the Twitter shitstorm that let him know that
@picphysicians is an antivaccine group disguised as an "informed consent" advocacy group.1 reply 0 retweets 5 likes -

Basically, this isn't my first rodeo. I've been around the block a few times and seen doctors like Gøtzsche be suckered by antivaxers before. Because he's so hostile to big pharma he was an easy mark.

So what was
@picphysicians goal in getting Gøtzsche to speak at its antivax quackfest? Obviously it was to use his reputation to burnished it's own. If Gøtzsche had appeared, there'd be pictures all over social media of him with antivaxers like RFK Jr.2 replies 0 retweets 5 likes -

So spare me your sanctimonious condescension. It turns out that I fit far more right about this than wrong.

Thank you, that’s what you should have tweeted instead of your speculation.

And it’s not condescension it’s concern — people will continue to see your mistake, look to verify and see that you are wrong. You know as well as I do that with twitter threading it’s unlikely people will see your correction/update.
