    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted The Real Truther

    This is who @delbigtree is. This is who antivaxxers are. They blame victims. They are so selfish that they take absolutely zero responsibility for public health or other people and deny and twist science in order to convince themselves that they are righteous for doing so.https://twitter.com/thereal_truther/status/1274040628624584705 …

        It's rather interesting, too, how often antivaxxers deny the concept of herd immunity. Yet here @delbigtree is urging young, healthy people to go out and get infected with #COVID19, so that herd immunity can be achieved.

        It's also funny how @delbigtree claims he still "cares" for old people with chronic diseases who are most at risk for #COVID19 after having shamed them and mocked them for supposed lifestyle choices that led to obesity, COPD, type II diabetes, and other chronic diseases.

        His whole attitude in the first half of the video was actually, "F*ck these people. They brought it on themselves. Why should *I* make any changes or wear a mask in order to protect *them*?" Then he pivots to claim he actually cares about them.🙄

        In reality, @delbigtree doesn't give a rodent's posterior about the elderly or those with chronic diseases. He just showed as much by shaming and mocking them for having caused their chronic diseases through lifestyle choices. He's only using them as a rhetorical tool.

        It should be a rule that if a person insists something like COVID-19 is as harmless as a cold, they should be forced to demonstrate.

        Del Bigtree. What a surprise. Like I said this morning, he needs to have a certain derivation of a four-letter word stuck in between his given name and surname. This is just more proof.

        Prof. Dolores Cahill has been saying the same antivaxx/covid nonsense and yet her University refuses to take any action. I didn't see anyone pointing out how she'd full of it so I had to do it myself. Unacceptable for a Professor of Immunology to say such crap.

        Are you for real? I am totally opposed to anti vaxers...just like you. Because ..science. But...you go with the when trans women are women....which had zero scientific grounding. Your cognitive dissonance is strong. How do you reconcile this? Pro science or anti science! Choose!
