      Yep. This is exactly what I’ve been saying since the pandemic began. Anyone who’s followed the antivaccine movement can immediately spot the similarities between #COVID19 denial and antivax disinformation.https://twitter.com/RMCarpiano/status/1328736654283051008 …

      Meet the new #COVID19 conspiracy theory boss, same as the old antivaccine movement boss. Great analysis by @aetiology & @doritmi shows how Del Bigtree only had to slightly tweek his disinformation messaging to remarket for the pandemic. 1/n #PBPL222 https://sciencedirect.com/science/articl  pic.twitter.com/KgDuXLHHRR

      The only change I’d make is one of emphasis. The antivaccine movement is based at its heart on a conspiracy theory that vaccines are harmful/don’t work but “they” (CDC, medical profession, big pharma, etc.) are “suppressing” that forbidden knowledge.

          #COVID19 denial is based on a similar conspiracy theory that COVID is engineered/not that deadly/plot to impose vaccination, but that “they” (CDC, deep state, public health infrastructure, etc.) are “suppressing” that knowledge.

          The examples in the antivax world are numerous. Indeed, @delbigtree and @DrWakefield’s VAXXED was based on the #CDCwhistleblower conspiracy theory, which claimed that the CDC was covering up evidence that MMR increased the risk of autism in African-American boys.

          Before that, in 2005, @RobertKennedyJr promoted the Simpsonwood conspiracy theory that claimed that—you guessed it!—the CDC covered up evidence that thimerosal in vaccines caused autism.

          Indeed, pretty much all science denial is rooted in conspiracy theories in which scientists are portrayed as “suppressing” evidence supporting their denial. /end

          Oh, one other thing. I don’t know if I I could’ve subjected myself to so many hours of @delbigtree without risking alcohol poisoning from the amount of scotch that would’ve been required to endure his ranting. So kudos to @doritmi and @aetiology for their constitutions.😂
