I find it telling that people who make "these" claims are perfectly willing to stand corrected - IN A PUBLIC DEBATE.
Offering to have your evidence-based beliefs corrected in public is about as genuinely humble and vulnerable as one could be.
#PublicDebate is healthy!

Equally telling is when offering to debate, the response is to make false accusations, play the victim and personally attack others using derogatory labels like AntiVaxxer or Conspiracy Theorist w/o a shred of evidcence to support their claims. This exposes their lies in my view.
🧵#DiedSuddenly has people believing #antivaxx nonsense based on inaccurate information provided by embalmers about post mortem clots. The clots they show sure look like normal post mortem clots. @drjudymelinek eloquently explains the difference here with great pics of examples:
Here's a larger version of the chicken fat and current jelly photo so you can really appreciate what they look like: 
Here are the clots from screen shots of #DiedSuddenlydocumentary. Now compare them to the picture above. See the similarities?
The lies 2020:
Don’t Panic, we go for #herdimmunity, #children can’t spread it and won’t be harmed
What was really
#wewanttheminfected
And use #schools as a tap for controlled spread. No transparency, no testing no mask
Lets spread the lie that mask simply don’t work

Here #polarisation starts driven by misinformation and intransparancy by your government. Everybody could see that the measures were nog in line with urgency.
What were they hiding? Why no #zerorisk #zerocovid with borders closed. It could be done

Lead to many many deaths but the #vaccin is almost here, working hard, we know the #SPIKE is a big thing, hold on #Hopium being built.
Meanwhile lets keep up the lie of children not important to monitor😢 we know from SARS they build less #antibodies lets presume they just not

Depuis 1 sem je découvre Twitter ses Spaces et ses Thread. Et je retrouve ici ce que je note chez mes patients antivaxx. De la peur et de la colère. Si je me mettais 2 min dans la tête d'une personne convaincue qu'une société secrète empoisonne le monde pour le manipuler 1/16
que tout ceci est orchestré, avec le sentiment d'être piégée par un systeme dictatorial qui lui ote ses libertés et voudrait s'approprier son corps et son libre arbitre en lui injectant de façon contrainte une substance dont elle a lu qu'elle était dangereuse, 2/16
This is what targeted racial harassment looks like: nitpicking things like “smiled” or “wore clothes like a celebrity, as a celebrity” or “bought cookware.” It is part of the “gold digger” narrative.
This is common in #healthcare “#professionalism” where there is hazing & bullying by racist &/or classist made up non-rules lacking standards…yet people are called “breaking the rules.”
It’s exactly how bullies operate: double standards, mislabel/smear, exclude, marginalize.

In the U.K., “BAME” includes the formerly colonized, thus making race constructs or power different from U.S. as latter had race-based chattel slavery.
Thing is, those formerly colonized have many who have internalized self hate & racism.

WARNING: Do not compare fat folks to antivaxxers. Stop suggesting that we are both a drain on resources and are taking up hospital beds. That's such a false equivalency. Fat people DO NOT CHOOSE to be fat. Nor can we DO SOMETHING to prevent us from getting sick. (1/3)
And before you start disagreeing...
There are numerous factors that control our weight. Very few of them are under our control. ALSO, there is no evidence that losing weight reduces your incidence of illness. We can't CONTROL our health. We are NOT a "drain" on resources. (2/3)

Now I understand that many people are afraid of the vaccine and have fallen for the #antivaxx propaganda. I'm not judging you. You don't deserve to be in hospital. You don't deserve to die. But you made a choice not to accept the vaccine. I did NOT make a choice to be fat. (3/3)
1/🧵 EVIL & the #AntiVaxx Movement:
By no means do I think the #Unvaxxed patients filling our ICUs to capacity are evil. NO. But I do think there is evil involved in the misinformation leading many good, caring people to that decision. And I listen to each. Please hear me out.

2/ Philosophers define evil as “a deprivation of the rationality that proper human action requires individually and as a member of society.” In that sense, we can discuss choosing not to be vaccinated and “cooperation with evil.”
3/ Thus far, “cooperation with evil” has been used as an argument by some in the #antivaxx culture as a reason NOT to get #Vaccinated. The main argument is that Pfizer and Moderna were safety texted w the HEK-293 fetal cell line.

"Every attempt to remedy crying evils was blocked by the same plea of 'freedom for the individual'
It was in fact freedom for the rich & slavery for the poor"

να μην πλένομαι. Γιατί να εμπιστευτώ τις μεγάλες βιομηχανίες καλλυντικών και προϊόντων, δε ξέρουμε τι βάζουν μέσα και τι προκαλούν στο DNA μας. Έχω άπειρα άρθρα που μιλάνε για την καταστροφή του PH και πως δημιουργούν καρκίνους. Δηλαδή οι νεάτερνταλ που δεν πλενόντουσαν πάθαν
τίποτα; Η Νέα Τάξη Πραγμάτων και το κεφάλαιο μας έχει πείσει οτι το σωματικό πλύσιμο είναι ανάγκη! ΕΧΟΥΜΕ ΧΑΣΕΙ ΤΟ ΠΡΑΓΜΑΤΙΚΟ ΜΑΣ ΑΡΩΜΑ! πλέον μπαίνω στα ΜΜΜ και όλοι οι πλυμένοι αποφεύγουν εμένα και τα παιδιά μου γιατί δεν αντέχουν ΤΗ ΠΡΑΓΜΑΤΙΚΗ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΑΘΑΝΑΤΗ ΜΥΡΩΔΙΑ

#GetVaccinated vs. #COVID. Vaccines stave off hospitalization, death and even worse for some people, sexual performance. Let's discuss some of the math, pros and cons, and adverse effects and that sexual performance thing. THREAD: texastribune.org/2021/07/21/cor…
2/ Most who are dying or are being hospitalized are unvaccinated. The vaccines don't give 100% immunity, but they are free, easy, painless and provide good protection. They also greatly decrease the impact of COVID if you do get it.

I’ve been following #antivaxx behaviour for some time now.
One scenario that gets played out over and over is that of a tragic death of a child, usually due to SIDS.
Grieving family looking for answers.
The #antivaxxers descend.

Babies will often have been recently vaccinated, we vaccinate babies: at 8 weeks, at 12 weeks, at 16 weeks, at around a year.
People want a reason why, and sometimes there is no why.
Which only adds to the grief.

Some of those being offered it as a priority are the clinically vulnerable. People with pre-existing conditions.

And some of these people, these loved and cherished people will die.

And this .... a very large segment of our population has essentially joined a death cult called #Qanon. Sorry I'm done parsing words on this. It is a destructive anti-science anti-reality death cult & it is destroying our country from within #AntiMaskers
Besides the obvious anti-vaxxer insanity and destruction that an anti-science and anti-reality mentality wreaks on a countries ability to collectively solve problems ... the destruction at the individual family unit is also real #Qanon #antivaxx #covid19
This series of tweets between fellow "woke" #Qanon followers is just sad. Sad for this guy's little girl, sad for his wife, and sad for his friends and neighbors & this is happening all over the US. The conversation in sequence is attached.
Dr. Quick is the 7th county public health officer/director to resign since Mid-April.
The woman cited in this story, who read Dr. Quick's home address aloud during a County Board of Supervisors meeting last month, is Leigh Dundas. She led an organization called Advocates for Physician Rights opposing @DrPanMD's #SB276. She's #antivaxx, but it's more than that...
Leigh aggressively targeted Dr. Charity Dean, then the public health officer for Santa Barbara County. Dr. Dean endured a barrage of personal attacks and a lawsuit for enforcing #SB277 vcstar.com/story/news/loc…
So as a #disinfo researcher with a past medical background, I am desperately trying to understand a tweet like this, the science and validity behind it and the social media buzz / misinformation around it. #covid19 #coronavirus #CoronavirusPandemic
Interest among the non-medical public started a few days ago when Trump mentioned that Chloroquine, an anti-malarial drug & immunosuppressant, was now FDA approved 2 treat #COVID19. That of course got walked back & here is part of my thread from Thursday
Since then and because Trump again tweeted about it as noted at the start of this thread, buzz continues to grow around a very small clinical study in France by physician Didier Raoulta. I will try to get into some of the major caveats with it later. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Here's this #antivaxx mom who refused to give her son Tamiflu after he presented with symptoms of the flu, including febrile seizures. Fuck her. Fuck the #StopManditoryVaccination group. VACCINATE YOUR KIDS.
