      There is a disinfo glut; there are also parents on the fence. The way to reach the parents on the fence is not to reply to disinfo, though. That just amplifies it, I'm afraid. People prefer the scarier story. See e.g. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/03/largest-study-ever-fake-news-mit-twitter/555104/ …

      The polite antivaxxer, though a rare beast, is worth replying to politely. Once the firmness of their position is clear, though, it's best for all concerned to move on, I think. Marie, Ken, Punter, and Rusty Mike are all examples of this in their own way.

      Yep. It didn't take long for Corazon to show her colors, and my polite, well-researched answer is probably as far as it'll go.

      Calvin helped me greatly with my book, just published. Look at his own book reviews on Amazon & you’ll see he’s no bit player. It’s “Climate Change Reality Check.” I’ll warn you, the book tends to trigger people who believe in CO2 hysteria. My book is on healthcare #RealityCheck

      And yet she argues with an antivaxxer: https://twitter.com/Corazon17Fuerte/status/1103653059970793473 … Antivax is not a one-size-fits-all label. For now, Corazon seems to feel vaccines work but are not safe. I wonder which way she'll evolve (towards qhole, grifter, or mystic). I guess she's selling a book, so...

      You don’t accept the phenomenon of immunization? That exposure to inert or trace amounts of a virus activates our body’s immune system to make antibodies against them?

      Replying to @dkegel @ktibus and

      Don’t take anything they’re doing at face value. Antivaxxers will routinely say they believe in vaccines (eg RFK jr, McCarthy) only they want to make them safer (green our vaccines) to appeal to mainstream audiences. Then they go full antivax with the believers.

      Opponents of mandates are for freedom and informed consent. They don't want to forbid vaccines--but you want to forbid choice and gag dissenters

      Nope. You're for misinformed consent in that you pervert the informed consent process by injecting misinformation about vaccine risks; e.g., that they cause autism.
