      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/ …

      Indeed, then there's the case of antivax-turned-wider- extremist activist Leigh Dundas who doxxed the address of the OC, CA Public Health Officer & then in 1/2021 was speaking in DC riling up crowds. https://tonyortega.org/2021/01/12/scientologys-anti-mask-star-leigh-dundas-may-have-overdone-it-at-capitol-riot/ …https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-09/orange-county-public-health-officer-resigns-amid-controversy-over-face-coverings …

      This is consistent with connections between antivaxxers and the Nation of Islam, which had become basically a wholly owned subsidiary of Scientology, going back at least to 2015.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/06/18/cranks-of-a-feather-the-nation-of-islam-teams-with-antivaccine-activists-to-oppose-sb-277/ …

      And we're not talking the "fringe" of the antivaccine fringe either. We're talking @RobertKennedyJr, a highly influential antivaccine "superstar."https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/06/22/cranks-of-a-feather-part-2-robert-f-kennedy-jr-cozies-up-the-nation-of-islam-over-sb-277/ …

      Indeed, RFK Jr. has teamed up with the Nation of Islam to organize a protest outside the @CDCgov in Atlanta over the "CDC whistleblower" conspiracy at the heart of @vaxxedthemovie.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/10/28/cranks-of-a-feather-part-3/ …

      Dundas had a brief CHD assoc. w/ RFK Jr. where her bio (tho 0 mention of her anti-vax resume) was ft'd w/ his on the CHD's CA chapter website last yr, then suddenly was wiped from the site. I can only guess her extremist activities (& amped up public speeches) were the reason.

      Well, RFK Jr. does want to keep his image squeaky clean, at least superficially.

      It is interesting how he flirts w/ right wing ppl but never really dances w/them. Here he is in Riverside Cnty at forum run by a conspiracy-theory-pushing, Christian Nat'list pastor who invites other fringe speakers. Seems rather uneasy w/his host at partshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxdUu6DZGVI&list=PLvMo7hMroAhKlJgU1cAcI76fJOy2luNGQ&index=16 …

      Sure, he's been playing footsie more and more with right wing antivaxxers and antimaskers, as he did in September in Berlin when he appeared at a Querdenken 711 event.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/01/13/rfk-jr-doesnt-like-being-called-antivacine-and-antimask/ …

          Last I looked at CHD he was actually supporting dealing with global warming. Of course this just was irritating his flock. With how reactionary his usual sources are anymore I am surprised he hasn't yet switched to the GOP.
