    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Dan Freedman, DO

    Targeting provaccine advocates at their jobs to harass them and try to get them fired (or at least to shut them up through fear of losing their jobs) is a feature, not a bug, of the modern antivaccine movement. #DoctorsSpeakUphttps://twitter.com/dfreedman7/status/1235537411112701952 …

    Early in residency, I was worried that antivax harassment would hurt my career so I kept quiet. Then I saw too many kids harmed by preventable diseases. We can't keep quiet in the face of dangerous & harmful antivax misinformation #VaccinesWork #VaccinesSaveLives #DoctorsSpeakUp https://twitter.com/thepedimom/status/1235307133576589315 …

        This is nothing new. Spurred by Jake Crosby 10 years ago, antivaxxers at @AgeofAutism flooded email & phone lines of my medical school dean, my department chair, my cancer center director, and the university board of governors complaining about a fake "conflict of interest." 1/ https://twitter.com/TheKidKidDoc/status/1235588567453388800 …

        Come to think of it, I think I'll adopt this @eltonofficial song as my theme song for any time I survive attempts of antivaxxers to get me fired. 😉https://youtu.be/ZHwVBirqD2s

        Replying to @gorskon

        They want to silence any voice but their own. They know that if #DoctorsSpeakUp and #NursesSpeakUp that the public will listen to them, those on the front lines of healthcare, rather than a random person with no medical background. Unfortunately their threats are escalating...

        It’s hard to imagine living in a world where healthcare professionals are punished for standing up for one of the biggest and best public health advancements in history.

        Nobody is trying to punish you and verbally challenging dogma is a pretty benign "punishment." We are challenging the destructive scourge of vaccine injury denial in a context of rampage censorship and shadow-banning.

        I despise antivaxxers. Apart from the cruelty & irresponsibility, there is a nasty note of new age classism.

        I've observed a strong streak of racism as well.
