    Sadly, this is how antivaxers roll. This is who they are. I've been at the receiving end of harassment through my employer by antivaxers more times than I can remember going back to 2005. #StopAntiVaxViolencehttps://twitter.com/SpectrumomYeah/status/1166747909456584711 …

    I took my name off of Twitter bc #AntiVaxxers threatened to contact my employer & say that I am unfit to care for patients in retaliation to advocating for #vaccines & not believing my daughters #Autism is a #VaccineInjury. I stand with @DrPanMD. #StopAntiVaxHarassment

        It got so bad for a while that, the list time I met with my cancer center director a few months ago, he joked that he hadn't gotten any complaints about me lately.

        I only wish I'd had the presence of mind to respond, "I guess I'm not doing my job on social media, then. I'll step it up."😏

        Of course, I'm now in a privileged position. I'm a professor in the latter half of my career. Universities usually don't do anything about these sorts of complaints because it's academic freedom and, yes, free speech.

        However, if I were a young academic, these sorts of complaints could cause more of a problem. If I worked for a private employer rather than a state university, such complaints could lead to my employer telling me to shut up or be fired. That's why antivaxers do this.

        My University and my Hospital received dozens of mails against me. I asked myself what I would have done not being a full professor but a younger doctor...

        Yes, I was still an assistant professor in 2005, the first time I got one of these complaints cc'ed to my chairman, cancer center director, and dean. I was terrified.

        Please stop grouping all people into one. I have friends who have chosen not to vaccinate and violence is not how they “roll”. Haven’t we learned anything about lumping groups of people Toby, especially in these times?

        Your friends may not be doxing people but they are endangering their children’s lives and the lives of those who can’t vaccinate.
