    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted To Tell The Truth

    Here's another antivax talking point, that antivaxers are somehow descriminated against, that "antivaxer" is somehow the "new N-word." We see the same tendency when antivaxers don the Yellow Star of David to imply they are persecuted the way Jews were by the Nazis. 1/https://twitter.com/BGLTHMND/status/1124247902690263040 …

    Stop the propaganda right now. Pitiful. It's you and your ilk that in your heart of hearts hate "anti-vaxxers" the way that Whites in the South hated Blacks. Anti-vaxxer is the new N-word. Drop the Superiority complex, damnit.

        Here's the thing. Antivaxers choose to be antivaxers, and it is their BEHAVIOR and CHOICES that provoke the negative reaction. Blacks don't have a choice about being black, and bigotry against them is about their race, not their choices. 2/

        Sadly, this simple observation seems to fly right over the heads of antivaxers, who so desperately want to don the mantle of persecution that they falsly liken criticism of their positions and actions to antisemitism and racism. 3/

        So, sorry, dude. I've heard antivaxers say that "antivaxer is the new N-word" going back several years. I'm no more impressed by it now than I was then. It's an empty slogan, nothing more. 4/4

        The antivax are so bad they soiled their own brand and now nobody wants to be called an antivaxxer. I will always call them antivax and make them own the damage they have done to health around the world and autistic communities. You are ghouls antivaxxers.

        I don't despise anti-vaxxers for aspects of themselves they cannot change or for their heritage. I despise that they choose to be misinformed selfish assholes spewing conspiracy theories with an undeserved superiority complex.

        If there were no other difference, anti-vax is an identity that can be taken on or left voluntarily, while dark skin or Jewish ethnicity are identities one is born into, and over which one has no control.

        There is, of course, the even more important difference that acting on the anti-vax identity poses a demonstrable threat to those around them, while racial or ethnic identities do not.
