Then last year, an antivaxxer took a disturbing step towards actually acting on the violent rhetoric. 7/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/08/22/austin-bennett-richard-pan/ …

She's correct. Now, we're at a very disturbing point, where antivaxxers have allied themselves with far right wing
#COVIDIOTS carrying Confederate flags and guns to intimidate state lawmakers. These fools have been especially prominent in Michigan. 9/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/covid-19-pandemic-deniers-and-the-antivaccine-movement-an-unholy-alliance/ …2 replies 10 retweets 34 likesShow this thread -
A video full of
#FireFauci conspiracy theories and antivaccine misinformation went viral, with the help of rightwing social media hubs. 10/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/plandemic-judy-mikovits-covid-19/ …1 reply 7 retweets 27 likesShow this thread -
It's even wilder than most people know, with far right wing protesters joining with antivaxxers, full of conspiracy theories about
#COVID19, chemtrails, plutonium, GMOs, glyphosate, and worse. 11/11https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/05/11/what-pandemic-left-out-about-judy-mikovits/ …2 replies 16 retweets 37 likesShow this thread -
Oops. Forgot. The worst thing is that the
@GOP has started tolerating and even pandering to antivaxxers, making their views mainstream. 11a/11https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/10/25/the-republican-party-has-become-the-antivaccine-party/ …3 replies 14 retweets 37 likesShow this thread -
What that means is that school vaccine mandates, which used to have wide bipartisan support, have become politicized. They're now a partisan issue. 11b/11https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/02/22/in-the-age-of-donald-trump-vaccine-policy-is-becoming-politicized-with-potentially-deadly-consequences/ …

Perhaps the most disturbing incident slamming the politicization of school vaccine mandates home to me occurred at a "vaccine roundtable" hosted by a
@MIGOP candidate for Congress in my district. I attended. 11c/11https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/08/03/jeff-noble-kerry-bentivolio-host-antivax/ …2 replies 6 retweets 22 likesShow this thread -
I note that, at the time, my state senator was antivaccine and running for governor, and my state rep was willing to pander to antivaxxers in the name of "freedom." Both are out of office now, thankfully. 11d/11

The problem is getting worse in
@GOP. For instance, antivaxxers are now openly bragging about how many@ohiogop state legislatures are antivax or antivax-sympathetic. 11e/11https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/11/13/ohio-statehouse-antivaccine/ …3 replies 9 retweets 38 likesShow this thread
