    Yup. There are no new antivax arguments. They all go back at least to the 19th century. This is even true for #COVIDVaccines. Even the claim that they "permanently alter" your DNA goes back to antivax claims from a couple of decades ago.https://twitter.com/DrYasmeme/status/1406228593240326148 …

    You can go further back, same arguments from antivaccine in 1901, about freedom, quack opinions and natural immunity to smallpox. It's like we never learn 🙄 pic.twitter.com/XZ9fT38CyU

        On second thought, claims that #COVIDVaccines will "permanently alter your DNA" are nothing more than a 21st century update of this 19th century antivax trope.pic.twitter.com/xvb2NAzA0P

        Well, yes. There have been two themes in my writing about #COVIDVaccines: 1. Everything old is new again. 2. There is nothing new under the sun in antivax world.

        Some of them literally peddle anti-vaccine propaganda from the 1920s. This long-outdated book is on the highly misleadingly named http://Vactruth.com  https://vactruth.com/download/vaccination_exposed.pdf …
