      Yep. The same thing happened 15-20 years ago with claims that vaccines cause autism. It took the downfall of Andrew Wakefield to finally get the press to drop its false balance and stop giving antivaxxers a platform.https://twitter.com/mem_somerville/status/1399903987122556935 …

      It's like watching a rerun. With emails, even. "Journalism fell into a trap with the climate crisis. By balancing the arguments of scientists and deniers early on, the media gave the public a distorted view of the expert consensus." https://twitter.com/liammannix/status/1399875122010333191 …

      Replying to @gorskon @TheSWPrincess

      That POS Wakefield is still spewing his anti vaccine garbage, now focused on COVID. I so wish I could blame my son's autism on vaccines, because then it could be "fixed", and no more autism, right? But the science isn't there! There is no scientific, proven link!

      Yes he is. He's using the same antivax tropes as the worst of them, such as the claim that #CovidVaccine is "experimental gene therapy."

          He's lost his license to practice medicine because he simply made up data , and I don't understand how anyone finds him a credible source of vaccine info? I wouldn't trust to ask him the time of day . Is he still skulking around America ? 🤬

          He was struck off for much more than that. Serious professional misconduct - putting kids through painful, invasive procedures they didn't need, for example. He took a totally unethical approach to his studies and hurt people.https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/society/2010/may/24/andrew-wakefield-struck-off-gmc …

          I'd be fired in a heartbeat if I ever gave a patient clinically wrong info.
