      I've been warning about the likelihood of antivaxxers arming themselves and becoming violent for years. Now it appears to be on the verge of happening, with "Mamalitia." 1/https://twitter.com/RMCarpiano/status/1387960353682649089 …

      The receipts begin. Five years ago, I first started becoming concerned about the increasingly violent rhetoric and imagery used by the antivaccine movement. 2/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/12/03/the-violent-rhetoric-of-the-antivaccine-movement/ …

      With the release of @DrWakefield and @delbigtree's antivaccine propaganda movie disguised as a documentary @vaxxedthemovie in 2016, the violent rhetoric of the antivaccine movement intensified. 3/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2016/07/19/the-violent-rhetoric-of-the-antivaccine-movement-vaxxed-edition/ …

      Of course, long before I first noticed the truly disturbing violent rhetoric of the antivaccine movement, but the many years of likening school vaccine mandates to the Holocaust had laid the groundwork. 5/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/05/17/the-violent-rhetoric-of-the-antivaccine-movement-vaccine-holocaust-and-potential-impending-attacks-on-journalists/ …

      Less than a year before the pandemic hit, antivaxxers were already ramping up their violent rhetoric even more. 6/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/05/03/violent-rhetoric-antivaccine-intensifies/ …

      It's not at all surprising now that the #COVID19 pandemic and the mass campaign to persuade people to accept #COVIDVaccine have taken the preexisting spark of radicalism in the antivaccine movement and started to fan it into a flame. 8/

      I've been warning about the potential for violence by antivaxxers for more than 5 years now. Few listened then. Some even pooh-poohed my warnings, downplayed them. I hope people will listen now. 9/9

      Forgot to mention. The statement by the leader of "Mamalitia" that ""public health is public enemy #1" is very consistent with what I've been saying about antivaxxers all along. It's not just vaccines. Antivaxxers oppose ALL public health measures. 10/10https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/12/02/antivaxxers-anti-public-health/ …

          During the #COVID19 pandemic, the anti-vaccine movement has allied more with fringe groups from different spheres. Example: "Freedom Rally" in DC on 1/6 featured anti-vaccine activism figure Del Bigtree along w/ other "medical freedom" speakers (plus others). Details in this🧵1/n pic.twitter.com/tEdi2SOywT
