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/ …Show this thread -
There's more, of course.
