    Just this weekend, I was at the receiving end of an oh-so-self-righteous lecture on how we should not call antivaxxers "antivaxxers" because it might drive them away from science. I have news for the naive: Antivaxxers rejected vaccine science long ago for conspiracy theories. 1/https://twitter.com/MarkHoofnagle/status/1343628161309945859 …

    So we now have 5g suicide bombers now. Thanks everybody for ignoring the rise of conspiracism. Now let’s get back to arguing whether it’s too mean to call antivaxxers anti-vax.

        Again, we have to learn to distinguish those who have heard antivax lies and become concerned from the antivaxxers spreading the disinformation. The former are still reachable with empathy and reason; the latter are not. 2/

        Those susceptible to antivax disinformation need to be inoculated against the tactics, tropes, and conspiracy theories of antivaxxers, while antivaxxers themselves need to be discredited. 3/3

        I've stopped calling Republicans "racist." Instead, I just say that they are "people who vote for people who cater their messaging to attract the votes of racists" and, I've got to say, these racists seem to appreciate the nuance.
