      It's not skepticism. It's denialism. It's antivaccine beliefs.https://twitter.com/NightShiftMD/status/1100091365898240000 …

      Dr. Brian GoldmanVerified account @NightShiftMD
      As a physician, I am profoundly disturbed by current outbreaks of measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases. Purveyors of vaccine skepticism need to be held to account.

      I hate to be harsh, but antivaxers have long tried to claim the mantle of skepticism when they are anything but that.

          I'm skeptical when I don't have the information to determine what's accurate. When years of real research point in one direction, skepticism is no longer an excuse.

          It reminds me of the days when people propagated the idea that you could cure HIV with Ozone treatments

          Maybe they think that "skepticism" actually means "I can use sciencey words to say I disbelieve this"?

          You have to take away the economic riches that antivaxers enjoy most of it locked up in non profits tax free.antivax agenda is a free money scam big dollars. Stop the dollars and you will find the antivax leaders are hampered in getting the message out

          The co-option of scientific language is a grand way to appear “reasonable” to the gullible, who simply see themselves as “open-minded.”

          Heavens, no! You can tell by the vast gap in evidence they require between what agrees with them and what doesn't.

          I have to wonder how much less anti-vaccine propaganda we'd see if the "alt-med" industry was held more accountable for their claims and products/services.
