    After YouTube banned anti-vaxxer Del Bigtree, who told people to intentionally infect themselves with COVID-19, he is going on a far-right media tour to complain, featuring Sandy Hook truther Owen Shroyer & white nationalist sympathizer Michelle Malkin https://www.mediamatters.org/coronavirus-covid-19/youtube-terminates-anti-vaccine-figure-del-bigtrees-account-after-he-pushed …pic.twitter.com/8VoSD32nTo

        During his appearance with Malkin on her YouTube channel, Bigtree pushed the same false claims that got his own account banned, including nonsense like the false claim 99.75% of people who get COVID-19 have no symptoms.

        Del Bigtree later did an appearance with Alex Jones himself. Jones was forced by the FDA earlier this year to stop selling fake coronavirus treatments (and obviously has a hugely odious background, eg Sandy Hook denialism): https://www.mediamatters.org/coronavirus-covid-19/hours-news-broke-fda-had-warned-alex-jones-he-was-pitching-his-products …pic.twitter.com/vHwA8yBpfL

        A prominent white nationalist/anti-Semite rises to Del Bigtree's defense after he was banned from YouTube (https://www.mediamatters.org/coronavirus-covid-19/youtube-terminates-anti-vaccine-figure-del-bigtrees-account-after-he-pushed …), using Bigtree's nickname for me:pic.twitter.com/bwdFEy7Idp

        I think it's fair to just call Malkin a white nationalist at this point. She sympathizes with it to the degree that its her own philosophy (until the next grift).

        Are they going to infect themselves first?

        I think the term needs to be "Sandy Hook denialist", but straight up liar is a close 2nd
