      WTF is wrong with @serwer and @YahooFinance, giving voice to antivaccine crank @RobertKennedyJr, as though his antivaccine views have any scientific validity whatsoever? At one point the chyron even says "RFK Jr on his passion for vaccine safety advocacy."https://finance.yahoo.com/news/robert-kennedy-jr-on-climate-change-140205979.html …

      There is no🤦‍♂️ big enough to express how wrongheaded this is. Beginning around 18:08 in the video, RFK Jr. spews essentially unchallenged easily refuted antivaccine tropes, disinformation, pseudoscience, and talking points. @serwer was clearly overmatched and underprepared. 2/

      This is the worst. It's not even "letting both sides speak." It's letting an antivaccine crank use @serwer and @YahooFinance to spew antivaccine disinformation of the most vile type. I laughed when @RobertKennedy claimed that he's "not antivaccine." 3/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/12/15/robert-f-kennedy-jr-anti-vaccine-not-fiercely-pro-vaccine/ …

      Antivaxxers often claim they're "not antivaccine" but rather "vaccine safety advocates." Jenny McCarthy used to make that same claim. It's utter bullshit. If they were vaccine safety advocates, they would target only certain vaccines that they consider unsafe. 4/

          Antivaxxers like @RobertKennedyJr don't do that. If you ask them which vaccines they consider sufficiently safe and effective, they either dance around the question or don't answer. Why? Because they don't think ANY vaccines are safe and effective. 5/

          RFK Jr. is so antivaccine that even his family called him out on it last year. 6/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/05/08/rfk-jr-so-antivaccine/ …

          Let's put it this way, RFK Jr. is so antivaccine that he has on at least three occasions I know of compared the vaccine program to the Holocaust! 7/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/04/09/the-annals-of-im-not-antivaccine-part-15-robert-f-kennedy-jr-and-the-vaccine-associated-holocaust/ …

          RFK Jr. is so antivaccine that he wrote a letter to the Prime Minister of Samoa during a measles outbreak that was killing dozens of children to try to convince him that it was the MMR vaccine that caused the outbreak. 7/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/12/05/samoa-measles-outbreak-malielegaoi/ …

          Seriously, @serwer, you were utterly unprepared and RFK Jr. made you look like a fool through his Gish gallop. (Google the term.) You also made it look as though there really is a scientific controversy about vaccine safety or whether vaccines cause autism when there is not. 8/

          Do better, @serwer. Do better, @YahooFinance. Don't give your platform to antivaccine misinformation! 9/9

          "vaccine safety advocates" instead of "antivax" is their new PR move. Yes, it IS bullshit.

          It's not new. It dates back at least to Jenny McCarthy back in 2008. It's still infuriating, though.
