Holy crap, this is dumb. A baby with a breathing tube would not be sucking on a pacifier. That's a nasogastric feeding tube, you idiot, and those look like hemangioma; i.e., NOT a vaccine reaction. Stop spreading fake antivax news. https://twitter.com/responsibleMDs/status/1227654597004681216 …

Screenshot to save this fake news Tweet for posterity. Again, that's a nasogastric feeding tube, not a breathing tube, and those are hemangiomas, NOT a vaccine reaction.

OK, someone is telling me this is a parody account, and it might be. If it is a parody account, this particular Tweet is a fail, thanks to Poe's Law and its riling up pro-vaccine doctors far more than anyone else.

I can see that, if this is a parody account, perhaps its owner was trying to get antivaxxers to retweet this particular image. The plan failed. Basically, it's a lot of doctors responding by pointing out the idiocy of the original Tweet.

When parody accounts lead pro-vaccine docs to waste their time refuting the nonsense they're hoping to bait antivaxxers into retweeting, it is not helpful; it is counterproductive.

If it turns out to be a provax parody account, I'll just take my lumps for having been taken in and be glad it wasn't for very long. That's all you can do.

Replying to @gorskon
You don't need to employ "if", just take a look at the a handful of other tweets in the account. Although I wouldn't call it parody so much as basic debunking through taunting. (See the first pinned tweet, re vaccination)

I looked. The rest of the feed, regardless of being provax, is a shitshow.
