We linked to one of your blogs in there! Everything old really is new again, when it comes to bullshit anti-vax claims, isn't it

Somehow, I doubt it. Even though most might assume that this is a new claim of antivaxxers, based on
#COVID19 vaccines being mRNA-based, even their claim that#CovidVaccine will "alter" or "reprogram" your DNA is NOT new. Antivaxxers have long made that claim for other vaccines.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -
Indeed, in 2017,
@BusyDrT was claiming that DNA vaccines were subverting evolution by altering your genes. https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/04/28/quoth-an-antivaxer-dna-vaccines-are-contaminating-our-dna-in-the-name-of-transhumanism/ …1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

In 2012,
@sayerjigmi was making much the same claims.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2012/01/27/vaccines-are-transhumanism/ …1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

In fact, every single antivaccine trope that's been promulgated during the
#COVID19 pandemic, be it about#CovidVaccine or the disease itself, is not new. I've yet to find one that I hadn't written about when I first saw it last year.2 replies 1 retweet 11 likes -

Heck, even the claims that
#COVID19 is not dangerous are nothing new for antivaxxers. They've been trying to deny that measles and varicella are dangerous since...well, as long as I've paid attention to the antivaccine movement.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

Perhaps the most ridiculous example occurred six years ago, when antivaxxers pointed to a 1969 episode of "The Brady Bunch" in which all the kids catch the measles to claim that people back then thought measles was no big deal because it wasn't dangerous.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/appeal-to-brady-bunch-vaccine-fallacy/ …

I note that in that post I also discussed a really despicable antivaccine trope that's risen to the fore during
#COVID19, namely the shrugging of one's shoulders at the deaths caused by the disease as "not a big deal." Antivaxxers did it for measles then and do it for COVID now.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
Maybe, Anna, someday antivaxxers will make some bogus claim about vaccines that is radically new and has never before been made. I tend to doubt that I'll live long enough to see it, though.

You will have to stay healthy and live to 115 to give them a chance to try or it's not fair!
