    This is nothing new. Antivaxers have been doing it at least 15 years. Back when I started, they said it was the mercury that causes autism. When that was shut down, aluminum became the new mercury and was blamed. Now they’re pivoting to autoimmune diseases.https://twitter.com/PeterHotez/status/1193694773699317765 …

    “Sand & myth” actually is a useful summary of the newest #antivax pivot. As we crush their fake #autism links (and hurt their bottom line) they’ve moved to phony vagaries “chronic illness” “health freedom” unspecified “toxins” which they know are difficult to pin down, all fake https://twitter.com/injaeneous/status/1193676136028540938 …

        The goalposts constantly shift, but one thing always stays the same with antivaxers: They falsely blame vaccines for bad things.

        They don't seem to realize that starting with a conclusion and trying to warp evidence to fit that narrative is not how one does #science or #philosophy.

        Not really.. A positive to know vaccine safety advocates were successful in removing neurotoxic mercury from most childhood vaccines though. Still a lot of work to be done on aluminium, aborted fetal DNA, animal parts, glyphosate...https://childrenshealthdefense.org/research_db/a-case-control-study-of-mercury-burden-in-children-with-autistic-spectrum-disorders/ …

        Yeah, because the fact that cell lines for a vaccine come from fetuses legally aborted in other nations 50 years ago is so much more important than preventing spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) from vaccine-preventable diseases now.

        If there were potentially multiple triggers for unverified or undetermined subsets of population, isn't that how you'd expect the conversation to go ? New potential triggers get uncovered all the time it seems. No 2 biologies the same, so there r many variables.

        If this is all myth then why are kids getting compensated? My family is vaccinated so I'm not an antivaxxer. My son is disabled for life by a medicine now banned in pregnancy that I was told was safe so I have a natural curiosity on monitoring for risk minimisation purposes.
