      Yesterday anti-vaxxers gathered in Washington, D.C. for another rally. I watched 5 HOURS of evidence-free fear-mongering, attacks on doctors, lies about #vaccines causing diseases & false claims about how 'sick' vaccinated children are. Here are the "highlights." #thevieeventpic.twitter.com/EPM1n06iMh

      Seems like 200-300 maybe. Definitely not "thousands" as they predicted.

      That was my guess too looking at @42believer's videos showing the stage in the background. The camera angles of the "official" #theVIEevent videos were cunningly chosen to make the crowd look much larger.

      I had heard they paid for up to 3,000 people showing up and desperately were trying to hold fundraisers to make up the lost money before it started. Why would they think all-of-a-sudden they'd be able to get 3,000 people to travel in the near-winter cold for an anti-vax rally?

      Well to be fair it was not last minute. She's been planning this for almost a year. She got almost every notable anti-vax charlatan to come. And still they didn't get huge numbers.

      Yeah, but literally nearly everyone said they didnt even hear about until 2 days ago. Because a ton of people were replying to me in my tweet like “what the heck?!!”..lol. Right then and there, I KNEW the outcome. I even said to my husband, I bet there won’t even be 1000.

      Oddly enough, I’ve known about it since July.

          My local anti-vax groups have been pushing it for months, and it was advertised in a bunch of anti-vax newsletters iirc

          Not saying the anti-vaxxers organizing this "rally" didn't do their research but there are rumors of a large business convention that very day in DC, featuring a talk on VIE, otherwise known as Variable Interest Entity. -with @Crazymothers1 #2019healththreat pic.twitter.com/TOU7Pe4OVg
