My response? If this wasn't an antivaccine event, can you point me to a single vaccine that a single speaker at

Can defenders of
#theVIEevent point to just one vaccine that just one of the speakers portrays as something other than a hideous toxic brew that will cause autism, autoimmune diseases, SIDS, etc.? Just one speaker? Just one vaccine? I can’t, but maybe I missed one. 4/1 reply 1 retweet 6 likesShow this thread -
If
#theVIEevent wasn’t antivaccine, why did so many of the speakers compare our system of vaccine mandates to the atrocities of Nazi Germany? James Lyons-Weiler basically compared vaccine mandates to the requirement that Nazi citizens buy a copy of Mein Kampf! 5/#VIEevent1 reply 2 retweets 7 likesShow this thread -
Never mind how ahistorical that claim is. German citizens weren’t required by the Nazi regime to purchase Mein Kampf. Sure, there was peer pressure, but the regime also gave the book away to newlyweds and soldiers. 6/

No,
#theVIEevent was antivaccine AF. Every speaker was antivaccine, some (like@delbigtree and James Lyons-Weiler) over-the-top histrionically antivaccine.#VIEevent 9/3 replies 1 retweet 8 likesShow this thread -
Replying to @gorskon @delbigtree
How about when Jim Meehan referred to vaccinations as "defilement by some secret sinister satanic ritual to defile and destroy god's perfect creation." I'm going to have to judge that line anti-vaccine.

I didn't see that one last night because by the time I got to Meahan it was too late for me to continue watching. I was afraid the vile stupid might drive me to crack open a bottle of scotch on a work night if I had to watch any more. I couldn't have that.
