      Calling out an antivaxxers like @RobertKennedyJr for spreading antivaccine lies for 16 years and counting is NOT character assassination. It’s correcting disinformation and deleting the truth.🙄🤦🏻‍♂️ https://twitter.com/noorchashm/status/1356934382238498817 …

      Nor does it have anything to do with politics. Right now the loudest and most dangerous voices in the antivaccine movement happen to be right wing. RFK Jr. is well known to be more left wing.

      I will counter antivax disinformation no matter which side of the political spectrum it originates from.

      David, it’s absurd that you even feel a need to defend your actions. With Kennedy, I can’t see any way a man of his undoubted intelligence could be unaware he is spreading lies. He was originally all about the mercury? But now he is in cahoots with Wakefield (MMR)?

      I honestly find Kennedy at the level of a Dickensian grotesque. He may have started out with the best intentions, but he’s used them to pave a pathway which is heading in one direction only. The MMR has no mercury. How does he hold such conflicting views?

      Basically, @RobertKennedyJr started out as an antivaxxer being all about the mercury in the thimerosal that was in a lot of childhood vaccines 20 years ago. After thimerosal was removed and autism prevalence didn't plummet, it was obvious mercury in vaccines didn't cause autism.

      Replying to @gorskon @Rosewind2007 @RobertKennedyJr

      So, after the "thimerosal hypothesis" claiming that mercury in thimerosal in vaccines caused the "autism epidemic" had been utterly falsified through a natural experiment, RFK Jr. pivoted to the MMR and other vaccines, adopting other antivaccine talking points and disinformation.

      Basically, for RFK Jr., it's all about the vaccines, which he believes are harmful and ineffective (or insufficiently effective). It was ALWAY all about the vaccines. It ALWAYS will be all about the vaccines. That's what @noorchashm doesn't understand. RFK Jr. is antivaccine.

          To expect RFK Jr.'s antivaccine nature to change for #CovidVaccine is naive and foolish. Suggesting a "safe" way to vaccinate against #COVID19 (whether science supports it or not) will NOT sway RFK Jr., who has been actively demonizing COVID vaccines since they were announced.

          The ‘argument’ as best I can see. Covid is only dangerous to those who are old and unhealthy. Otherwise it’s minimal. We should all eat organic and take supplements, particularly Vit D and we would all be ok.

          If I RFK got bitten by a dog, would he still be anti-vaccine when it came to rabies vaccine?
