    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Satyen S

    There is very much a social Darwinist component to antivaccine ideology. This antivax social Darwinism manifests itself as a lack of concern for victims who die of vaccine-preventable disease or suffer serious complications from it, antivaxers implicitly viewing them as unfit.https://twitter.com/deralteGaukler/status/1199076277673697282 …

    ‘Pro-Life’ #antivaxer shows compassion for 27 deaths so far in the #SamoaMeasles epidemic. Yes, these are the kind-hearted everyday folks who are simply ‘concerned’ and ‘for safe vaccines’. Fecking numpties! pic.twitter.com/Kdanl3Jd8d

        The antivax attitude is all too often, “Let every child get measles. Most will survive it and develop ‘natural immunity’ as a result, and those unfortunate enough to die weren’t fit anyway.”

        i don't know how to articulate my mutterings about colonialism as well but I just really cannot with anti-vaxxers.

        Wonder how many vaccine inserts you’ve read, doc? Are you educated on the ingredients and adverse side effects? MDs only learn how to administer vaccines according to the schedule and how safe they are. Ever dig more in to it? Read http://nih.gov  like me?

        Please don’t call it “social Darwinism”. It’s called RACISM; it’s called #WhitePrivilege.

        David, a trenchant, but important point.
