    Easy. They’re already saying it: That coronavirus is another plot by big pharma to frighten people into getting a new vaccine (and also the flu vaccine, because health officials keep saying flu is a greater danger than coronavirus). You don’t deal much with antivaxxers, do you?🙄https://twitter.com/neiltyson/status/1232287094296522753 …

    I wonder what anti-vaxers would say to a Corona Virus vaccine.

        In fact, antivaxxers have been saying that since at least early January, when news of the outbreak was starting to be really widely reported.

        Based on observations, NDT doesn’t concern himself with engaging with people he views as obvious crack-pots, or the willfully ignorant. For better or worse, he has zero patience for science deniers. Tl;dr No, he has not dealt with anti-vaxers in any meaningful way.

        Yep. Antivaxxers follow the same script on conspiracy theories whenever there’s an outbreak.

        I had to debunk a couple of myths already. People who think that it is a military virus, specifically designed to reduce the population, etc.

        Yeah. Those are other standard antivax conspiracy theories that crop up whenever there’s an outbreak, either that it’s a bioweapon or that it’s an attempt at a vaccine gone wrong.

        He’s a physicist not physician, so it’s okay. Also, he has an episode of StarTalk where he specifically discussed vaccines & anti-vaxxers with a qualified person (can’t recall if that guest was a PhD or MD).
