      When it comes to the antivaccine movement, I've always said, "Follow the money." Ms. Brittain had some an excellent job doing just that. I guarantee you that Bernard and Lisa Selz are not the only wealthy people funding antivaxers. 1/ https://twitter.com/AmyJBrittain/status/1141300310255788032 …

      Going way back to 2005, @generationrescue was started by a wealthy hedge fund manager, J.B. Handley. Of late, GR appears to be rebranding itself to take advantage of a wider variety of grift than just antivax/autism grift. 2/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/06/19/generation-rescue-grift/ …

          For 12 years, Generation Rescue had been taking advantage of its president's rich Hollywood friends. Meanwhile, it's served as a marketing tool for its board members to sell quackery. 3/ https://jezebel.com/jenny-mccarthys-autism-charity-has-helped-its-board-mem-1832461139 …

          For instance, 12 years ago, Generation Rescue abandoned its former dogma that autism is a misdiagnosis for mercury poisoning site to mercury in vaccines for a vaguer claim about vaccines causing autism. 5/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2007/05/02/even-the-zealots-cant-defend-this-hypoth/ …

          Meanwhile, in Texas, the antivaccine group @TXforVaxChoice is funded heavily by @EmpowerTexans, which is using antivaxers as cannon fodder, or a “foot in the door,” in the service of their larger battle to decrease government regulation and promote far right wing causes. 6/

          Kompethacras is the person who facilitated the meeting between antivax idol Andrew Wakefield and then-candidate @realDonaldTrump in 2016. 8/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2016/11/02/donald-trump-and-disgraced-antivaccine-scientist-andrew-wakefield-best-buds-forever/ …

          Then there is Claire Dwoskin and the Dwoskin family on the other side. They run a foundation that funds pseudoscientific antivax "studies" by cranks like Christopher Exley and Christopher Shaw. 9/ https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/09/21/torturing-more-mice-in-the-name-of-antivaccine-pseudoscience-2017-aluminum-edition/ … https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/12/06/professor-christopher-exley-the-latest-darling-of-the-antivaccine-movement/ …

          The Dwoskin family runs the rabidly antivaccine group @CMSRIResearch, which is the dubious antivax institute funding this awful, incompetent research. 10/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/05/24/is-tipper-gore-appearing-at-a-fundraiser-hosted-by-antivaxers/ …

          There's more, of course. @NVICLoeDown is funded by wealthy quack @mercola. Many ornery antivax groups advertise for supplement manufacturers and other quacks. 11/

          In other words, there are a lot more rich people and groups funding antivax propaganda than the Selzes. I'd love to expose them all. 12/12
