This is the same thing Trumpies and antivaxxers did when those Texas @TheDemocrats legislators who left the state to deny @GOP a quorum in the legislature to pass a voter suppression law caught #COVID19. Very uncool. Fellow, pro-vaxxers, don't do this.

I understand the sentiment. But nevertheless it is a vile one. To wish disease and death on another human being.

Precisely. As much as I detest antivaxxers, I try to resist reaching the point of gleefully expressing schadenfreude when one of them falls ill. I understand that it can be difficult.

You’re a doctor, you *shouldn’t* express glee when an anti-vaxxer gets COVID. I’m a comic, this is a joke that other people liked a lot. Good luck with your doctoring!

I bet you’re one of those comics who complains about “cancel culture” when criticized for offensive jokes like this.

Nope and I’m not complaining now, I’m responding. You QTed my joke to virtue-signal your preferred behavior to your followers. You also admitted you don’t like anti-vaxxers, whom you ostensibly treat. Are MDs supposed to do that on their professional accounts?

This isn't my professional account, and I've made it very clear many times that when I say "antivaxxer" I do NOT mean "vaccine hesitant," for whom I try to have empathy. I mean the ideologues and grifters who spread antivaccine disinformation. I guess it's time to say it again.

When I refer to antivaxxers, I'm referring to the likes of
@RobertKennedyJr, Andrew Wakefield, and the various antivaccine propagandists who stoke vaccine hesitancy. Sometimes I even take people on "our side" to task for being too loose with the term "antivaxxer."1 reply 0 retweets 7 likes -

Is there overlap? Of course, but I tend to reserve the term "antivaxxer" for those who actively spread antivaccine disinformation, protest against vaccine mandates, and/or (especially) make money spreading antivaccine disinformation.

Basically, the vaccine-hesitant tend more to be victims than the demagogues and grifters who spread the misinformation that fuel vaccine hesitancy.
