    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Jonathan Howard

    I recently discussed how naïve we provaxxers were pre-pandemic. We used to assume that vaccines were victims of their own success and if antivaxxers only saw the mass suffering and death a vaccine-preventable disease (which #COVID19 is now) can cause, they’d stop being antivax.https://twitter.com/JHowardBrainMD/status/1398648680396230661 …

    My thinking- Pre-covid: people are antivaccine largely because they never saw what these diseases can do. Now: people’s identities are more important to them than their lives. https://twitter.com/karenpaulscbc/status/1398623202226491396 …

        We were hugely and painfully mistaken. Mass suffering and death due to #COVID19 made antivaxxers even more antivaccine and opposed to any #CovidVaccine.🤷🏻‍♂️

        Yes, I felt this way too. In the early days of the pandemic, I thought, "well at least the bright side is that this will bring an end to the anti-vax movement." So naive.

        If quacks and politicians were held to account the same way things happen on twitter wars, that would be an improvement. If this doesn't make you sad IDK.

        I think this tweet was intended to make a sensible point but it ended up in absolute crazy land.

        Replying to @gorskon

        The thing is: they still largely haven't seen what these diseases do. Severe COVID-19 that puts people in ICUs is largely absent from the public eye. PASC is largely invisible too. So I honestly don't think that this disproves it.

        People in India are seeing firsthand what #COVID19 does first hand, and antivaccine sentiment is still rife there.

        Nope. It’s an anti-science movement.

        It’s complex. Germany’s Greens are pro #COVID-vaccines, anti #HPV-vaxx, anti-#GMO, follow climate science, tolerate #homeopathy. They claim there’s always “other science” to follow. So Fauci is science and Vandana Shiva as well. They follow CRIIGEN w/ GMO but not a/ mRNA vaccine

        That's the trouble with conspiracy theorists, absolutely everything that could disprove their theory becomes part of the conspiracy. It's almost like an addiction in that they have to want to see reality to be able to get over it.
