      Here we go again, the antivaxer's refrain of, "I'm not anti-vax." My question, of course, is this: If Gary really believes that vaccines are "damaging" thousands of kids, then why on earth is he *not* antivax? If I honestly believed vaccines were that harmful, I'd be antivax. 1/ https://t.co/NZNzwaUbN3

      The reason is simple. He is antivax, but he knows that the antivax label is toxic and is, like most antivaxers, trying to avoid it. It's just that simple. 2/2

          That’s exactly it. It’s like the old “I’m not a racist, but...”

          I think pro healthy life means they feed the kids Annie's mac and cheese instead of Kraft. Wards off all illness.

          "I am not an antivax, but--": you're an antivax (on the whole, as far as I know and at least in Italy, something like "I am not a fascist, but..": ok , you're a fascist. :)

          Standard redefining approach. Exactly like "We aren't anti-abortion, we are pro-life".

          Don't most people hover over a Twitter name first? He says he's an anti-vaxxer right up front. So, yeah, this is pretty much the exact script used by anti-abortion activists.
