      The President-Elect of @AAPSonline is denying that her organization is antivaccine. I'm laughed out loud as I read this. Let's take a stroll down memory lane. 1/https://twitter.com/kksheld/status/1250096864927666176 …

      Kris Held,MD @kksheld
      As I said @AAPSonline is not anti-vaccination. You continue to tweet false information. Is this a pattern? https://twitter.com/dfreedman7/status/1250090280226881536 …

      Dr. Held started by claiming that an article I wrote 12 years ago (actually it's an update of an article I wrote 14 years ago for another blog) is “old stuff" and "biased attacks on medical freedom.” 2/https://twitter.com/kksheld/status/1250097310232698882 …

      Old stuff. Biased attacks on medical freedom.

      Here's the post, by the way, in which I enumerate the longstanding antivaccine views promulgated by @AAPSonline through its official journal JPANDS. 3/ https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-journal-of-american-physicians-and-surgeons-ideology-trumps-science-based-medicine/ …

      I also can't help but point out that that the official journal of @AAPSonline published an article by the grandfather of the modern antivaccine movement Andrew Wakefield predicting a mass extinction due to the measles vaccine. When? Last September. 4/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/09/06/andrew-wakefield-predicts-a-sixth-mass-extinction-due-to-vaccines-in-jpands/ …

      In February, @AAPSonline sued @AdamSchiff for its "right" to promote antivaccine misinformation.5/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/02/07/aaps-sues/ …

      And in 2018, JPANDS published Brian Hooker's incompetent "reanalysis" that spawned #CDCwhistleblower conspiracy theory and @vaxxedthemovie, after the article had been retracted. 6/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/12/12/brian-hookers-antivaccine-pseudoscience-has-risen-from-the-dead-to-threaten-children-again/ …

      In December 2016, JPANDS published yet another article by an antivaxxer chock full of antivaccine misinformation. 7/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2016/12/22/the-crank-medical-organization-to-which-hhs-nominee-dr-tom-price-belongs-lays-down-a-heaping-helping-of-antivaccine-pseudoscience/ …

      Of course, I've documented the long history of AAPS promoting antivaccine misinformation, including the worst antivaccine lie of all, that shaken baby syndrome is a "misdiagnosis" for vaccine injury. 7/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-antivaccine-lie-that-just-wont-die-shaken-baby-syndrome-is-really-due-to-vaccine-injury/ …

      There's even a sympathetic portrait by Dr. Jane Orient of baby killer Alan Yurko, who was the first to try to use the “shaken baby syndrome as a misdiagnosis for vaccine injury" defense still in JPANDS. 8/ https://www.jpands.org/vol10no2/orient.pdf …

      If @AAPSonline is truly, as Dr. Held claims, "not antivaccine," then why hasn't it removed the blatantly antivaccine content from the JPANDS website? It's not “pro-informed consent." It's blatantly antivaccine. I can provide many examples. 9/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2016/11/30/the-new-secretary-of-health-and-human-services-is-a-member-of-a-fringe-medical-organization-heres-what-that-means/ …

          Finally, “pro-informed consent" is anything but if the information used for consent is antivaccine misinformation and disinformation blaming vaccines for autism, etc. I refer to it as "misinformed refusal." 10/

          Similarly, “medical freedom" is a dogwhistle for antivaccine and support for quackery. 11/

          In any event, seeing @AAPSonline deny being antivaccine just makes me laugh. Derisively. 12/12
