    How convenient. Anyone who refutes this antivaxer's views is a "troll," which allows her to dismiss any disconfirming information from the "troll," thus keeping it from penetrating her antivax bubble.https://twitter.com/lottelottes3/status/1106883506171465728 …

    Pro vax trolls don’t seem to get it. I’m a writer, broadcast Journalist; I’m a mum, I have my own views & lived experiences & I’m invited to talk about just that. I’m not up for debating with factoids and aggressors, bullies and trolls. Only their opinion is valid. 😐

        It occurs to me that her labeling someone like that is dehumanizing. We ourselves need to ensure we don't do the same. These anti-vaxxers are people trying to do good, but have been victimized by some really bad ideas that are having awful consequences.

        A "broadcast" journalist the only joined Twitter in 2018? Parents of measles inflected infants should sue these propagandists for wrongful pain death and icu bills.

        Being an antivaxxer is quite easy: you dismiss your opponents as “trolls” or “shills”, formal education and training as “brainwashing”, and scientific evidence as “bought by BigPharma”. No intelectual effort involved.

        Top tip for deniers: facts are easier to dismiss if you refer to them as “factoids.”

        Another one of those "I do my own research" jackasses who feel that their hours with Dr. Google trumps MDs' and PhDs' years of doing science.

        If they had a basic understanding of History and Philosophy of Science, a few hours with Google would work fine.
