      This is just the next step in a longstanding antivax strategy to portray themselves as an oppressed minority. Their misuse of the Yellow Star of David is the most egregious example of course. 1/https://twitter.com/nicolekarlis/status/1403137087801499650 …

      New Age alt-health types, who oppose vaccines, are aligning themselves with far-right activists — and many are coming together at very offensive "freedom" events this month. https://www.salon.com/2021/06/10/the-anti-vaccine-movement-is-trying-to-co-opt-juneteenth/ …

      Antivaxxers trying to co-opt Juneteenth is a natural evolution of a strategy that started years ago and, pre-pandemic, led them to call themselves the "new civil rights movement." 2/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/09/10/sb-276-new-civil-rights-movement/ …

      As an aside, if the anti-Asian bigotry among antivaxxers that we've seen during the #COVID19 era is nothing new. Get a load of these images likening @DrPanMD and other Asian supporters of vaccine mandates to Chairman Mao. 3/ https://www.facebook.com/APILegCaucus/posts/2247092362083547 …

      Last week the #antivax opposition to #SB276 took a break from aligning with #Scientology to welcome the Oath Keepers, an anti-government far-right "militia" recognized by The Southern Poverty Law Center as an extremist group w/ white supremacist views. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/08/17/white-supremacists-militias-private-police-215498 … pic.twitter.com/4v4AEeo2dN

      So grateful for the sergeants right now. We honestly feel like our office is about to get stormed but I know they are out there keeping this under control. It sounds like they are banging on our doors (they are banging on the doors to the Senate gallery) #CAleg pic.twitter.com/my9zHo1ugV

      Protestors are banging loudly on the wooden entry door to the Senate, which has now been cleared except for media and Senate sergeants. Protesters continue to occupy the gallery while chanting.

          Before they claimed to be the "new civil rights movement," antivaxxers were furiously trying to recruit Blacks to their cause, perhaps realizing how white and privileged they were. 9/

          Indeed, the entire "CDC whistleblower" conspiracy theory at the art of the antivaccine propaganda film disguised as a documentary VAXXED was that @CDCgov was "hiding" evidence that the MMR vaccine increases the risk of autism by 4-fold in Black boys. 13/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2016/07/18/in-which-andrew-wakefield-and-del-bigtrees-antivaccine-documentary-vaxxed-is-reviewed-with-insolence/ …

          It's a key reason why antivaxxers have long compared school vaccine mandates to the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, a comparison that has been turbocharged since #COVID19. 14/

          Given how antivaxxers have co-opted the Tuskegee syphilis experiment and the 1950s and 1960s civil rights movement to claim the mantle of an "oppressed minority" (even though they are mostly white and privileged), it should be no surprise they'd abuse Juneteenth, too. 15/15
