      Good idea @kasperkepp Let's bring international attention to this matter. What do experts on #VaccineHesitancy and misinformation have to say about @StabellBenn claims about Covid19💉? @DrPaulOffit @Rosewind2007 @doritmi @gorskon might recall earlier encounters.

      Absurd thread full of bad intentions and clearly wrong accusations. Easy to refute. See under each tweet.

      Which only reinforces my impression that she was incredibly naive. In antivax hands, "informed consent" really means "misinformed refusal," in which parents refuse vaccines for their children because they believe antivax lies about the harms caused.

          "Informing" antivaxxers about the benefits of vaccines doesn't change their minds. Such information can influence those who haven't gone full antivax yet, but, again, remember that false appeals to a "balanced" sort of "informed consent" is a longstanding antivax tactic.

          Your're probably right wrt US. In Denmark, I think most people see it differently. We have little hesitancy, and I think @StabellBenn speaks out of both a personal impression from Denmark, which I tend to find plausible living here, while you speak based on experience in the US.

          Here is the full debate: https://twitter.com/StabellBenn/status/1100044631864168450 … So the part I marked is the actual part that you disagree with and the basis of your attack on professor @StabellBenn ? Again, I have no knowledge of this, first time I meet you and I find this all very peculiar.pic.twitter.com/jGZ7YxazBA

          As you say: you have “no knowledge of all this”. @gorskon does. When @ProfPHansen speaks of “experts on #VaccineHesitancy and misinformation”, David here is one of them. I have a pretty reasonable knowledge too. What David says is true.pic.twitter.com/SEenr8yzwG

          So you both support informed consent but you criticize the way the word is (mis)used and estimate, based on experience, that when the term is used, it is typically by antivaxx groups. @StabellBenn thinks that it is not always the case. Is this the substance of your disagreement?
