      @RobertKennedyJr, I am willing to engage in reasonable and rational discourse. With all parties on all sides of this issue. Our nation faces a grave problem....We must center ourselves quickly. You can't stand too far on the fringe, Mr. Kennedy. @GerriShaftel @kwstark @jon_kamp

      Mr. Kennedy is an anti-vaccine leader. He has been on the fringe of this issue since 2005. You may well not have known, but he is not a reasonable party here. That association will undermine your point which, by itself, is worth raising.

      Yes, RFK Jr. is as antivax as anyone comes. I've been writing about his spreading of antivaccine conspiracy theories for nearly 16 years now, dating back to this. http://oracknows.blogspot.com/2005/06/saloncom-flushes-its-credibility-down.html …

      Indeed, these days RFK Jr. is not just antivaccine, but also a #COVID19 denier and #antimask.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/01/13/rfk-jr-doesnt-like-being-called-antivacine-and-antimask/ …

      Replying to @gorskon @doritmi and

      There are only two possibilities. Either Dr. Noorchashm gave RFK Jr. permission to republish his article, or he did not. If the latter, he should be outraged that RFK Jr. used his article without permission to further antivax propaganda. If the former, he should admit his mistake

      I did not specifically give permission to @RobertKennedyJr to use my article. But it is in the public domain for all to read and use. We should all be looking for rationality and safety. Time is running out for many. Also, please try to keep it polite. Best, Hooman.

      Hi, I always used to be painfully polite to anti-vaxxers. For several years. This plays straight into their hands. I now admit my approach was wrong: Saying: “It’s alienating to call them #antivax ! It’ll only make them more extreme...” is utter rubbish. It doesn’t work. 1/

      This idea that everyone “has their own truth”, that we should call stuff “misinformation” rather than call lies out for what they are; and call out the liars who spread these dangerous lies. Someone may passionately believe a lie. It’s still a lie. Cheers, Rosewind

      A lie means knowing misrepresentation. I disagree with calling someone who really believes the misinformation they are sharing a liar. You can be wrong, even badly or dangerously wrong, without intentionally lying. Still dangerous.

      Replying to @doritmi @Rosewind2007 and

      That’s separate from calling people antivaccine. That can be spot on even if they’re sincere. And for the record, I think RFK jr. sincerely believes vaccines are bad - and is sincerely antivaccine - but is then willing to lie for that cause. I think he is a liar.

      RFK Jr.’s lie, of course, is portraying himself as “fiercely provaccine.” That reminds me. I always ask “I’m not antivax” antivaxxers: If vaccines cause all the harms that you claim they cause, then why the hell AREN’T you antivaccine?
