#antivaxers — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #antivaxers, aggregated by home.social.

  1. For all the #antivaxers who are drawn to any post mentioning #vaccination like moths to a flame:

    You are shit. You will always be shit. No matter what good you've done in your life, no matter how kind you are to your family and friends, no matter how hard you work, no matter what accomplishments you have to your name, you're still shit. Add a drop of diarrhea to a bottle of the finest champagne, and you have a bottle of shit.

    (Hardly any of you were ever champagne. MD 20/20, mostly. But some were at least decent drinks, before ... you know.)

    Those of us who are not shit, particularly in the #medical biz, will keep trying to keep you from going down the toilet. Not because you deserve it: you don't. Because we're thinking, feeling, decent human beings. Because we're better than you. We want to be able to look at ourselves in the mirror, and we don't want to see shit like you looking back.

    Still, at this point it's hard to feel sorry when you inevitably get flushed.

  2. This is good news. Just remember what #antivaxers are. They don't know they're mass murderers—but they still want you dead, and your children, and ultimately themselves after they've done away with everyone else. You have to be lucky all the time. They only have to be lucky once.

  3. "What do you *want*?"

    "I want #antivaxers to live just long enough to learn what actual research is. And when they realize what idiots they've been, I will wave at them ... like this. Can you and your associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?"

  4. "Making fun of #antivaxers isn't the best way to educate them."

    "It is very difficult to educate mass murderers as to why mass murder is bad."

  5. #Antivaxers love to talk about Protecting The Children, but also think hundreds of dead kids is a "modest number."

    Amazing! Were he around today, Ben Franklin would spend so much time kicking anti-vaxers up the arse he would tear a ligament!

  7. The text at the end of the post is copied rather than shared, at previous poster's request, and lightly edited. Feel free to share my post, though, with commentary intact.

    You know this was always their endgame. The bullshit answers #RFK Jr. and his fellow loons gave Congress were even more transparent lies than all the other confirmation hearing testimony. Everyone who voted to confirm them shares the blame, but Bill #Cassidy has earned a special place in hell.

    #Bondi, #Hegseth, #Noem, and all the rest of the cabinet are all assholes, and profoundly dangerous. Justice and Homeland Security are slaying their thousands, and Defense is gearing up to slay its tens of thousands. Health and Human Services is chuckling at them and saying "amateurs."

    I'm skeptical that any amount of lobbying #HHS directly, or any of its sub-departments such as #FDA, #NIH, and #CDC, will have much effect. But maybe, just maybe, calling your #Senators and #Representatives will have an effect.

    Let's face it, members of #Congress will suffer a lot less from idiocy like #tariffs than the rest of us, and they're (probably) safe from roundup and #deportation. #Viruses don't care about such distinctions. Mighty and humble alike can choke to death on their own liquefying lung tissue.

    #Antivaxers are not "skeptics." They're not interested in evidence. They can't be bargained with, they can't be reasoned with, and they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

    Marty Makary and Tracy Hoeg at the FDA are currently trying to set a policy that would effectively eliminate all covid vaccines. They want to require a full clinical trial every year for companies to update the covid vaccine to match the current strain, which they know is not possible.

    Please contact the FDA and demand continuing access to yearly updated covid vaccines and ask for the Novavax 2025 covid vaccine to be approved.

    Not a doctor then…
    Nor an epidemiologist …
    Nor a father who lost a child to a preventable disease…
    Hmmm… and still an MLC?
    What, WA has some idiots in their electorates too? Ahh.. same as the rest then.

  9. Exactly as expected, the #FDA has canceled its meeting to select which #flu strains will be included in the next round of #vaccines. Given the time lag involved, this means updated vaccines will not be ready for this fall’s flu season.

    #Antivaxers who claim to hold a compromise position, or that they can be persuaded by sufficient evidence, are always lying. They’re fanatics, every single one. You probably know that already, but it bears repeating.

  10. @ChrisMayLA6
    The local (#Houston) news last night reported that the number of #Measles cases in West #Texas continues to explode.

    Of the 124 "confirmed" cases of the HIGHLY INFECTIOUS (and preventable) disease, ALL BUT 23 ARE CHILDREN (that's 101 kids.) 🤬 #RWIdiocy #Antivaxers #DisasterPresidency

  11. There are a number of panicky Facebook posts, to which I will not link, going around about the "shocking" discovery that #mRNA #vaccines cross the #placental barrier. Which really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but #antivaxers gonna #antivax.

    Okay, the discovery is real enough. Here's a direct link: sciencedirect.com/science/arti Click the "View PDF" button at the top, just above the journal title, to read the full article. Note that this is a pre-print version, meaning there may be some typos and such, but nothing that's likely to change the results.

    The problem is ... well, there's no problem here! #Maternal #immunity, however acquired, is routinely passed on to #fetuses: we're all born with #immune systems primed to deal with whatever #diseases our mothers have encountered, and that's a *good thing*.

    Of course antivaxers who freak out about any occurrence of the abbreviation "mRNA," like the same people often freak out about the word "pronoun" or the "cis-" and "trans-" prefixes, think this is somehow evil.

    It's not. It means *fewer dead kids*. These people would literally rather kill their children than learn anything that contradicts their ideology.

  12. @dr.andrealove
    Wouldn't *water* be a simpler example? 🤔

    It contains Hydrogen, but it doesn't float. It contains oxygen, but you can't breathe it (and as noted above me, doesn't burn.) 😉 #Vaccines #antivaxers

  14. Donald Trump chooses anti-vaccine activist Robert F Kennedy Jr as health secretary | Stuff

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/360488026/donald-trump-expected-pick-vaccine-sceptic-rfk-us-health-secretary

    Kennedy has espoused misinformation around the safety of vaccines, including pushing a totally discredited theory that childhood vaccines cause autism.

    He also has said he would recommend removing fluoride from drinking water. The addition of the material has been cited as leading to improved dental health.

    Kennedy’s anti-vaccine nonprofit group, Children’s Health Defence, currently has a lawsuit pending against a number of news organizations, among them The Associated Press, accusing them of violating antitrust laws by taking action to identify misinformation, including about Covid-19 and Covid-19 vaccines.

  15. I'm old enough to remember 10 days ago when Howard Lutnick, the chairman of the Trump transition team and central banker of international crime via #Tether, insisted loudly on CNN that there was absolutely no chance RFK Jr. would be put in charge of America's Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS).

    The video evidence:

  16. nevermind that huge pile of Samoan children that died of measles after RFK Jr. convinced their parents not to get them vaccinated. also please ignore the fact that he thinks AIDS is a government plot that has nothing to do with HIV. and nevermind that he's promised that the first evils he will combat are water #fluoridation and #chemtrails.

    and finally, whatever you do, definitely don't look into what the man has to say about covid-19 and the jews.

    I never could figure out how the #Antivaxers & #Antimaskers who'd rather eat fishtank cleaner and horse skin cream than get a shot, who attended crowded rallies in the middle of a #pandemic, didn't wipe out their entire voter base? 🤨

  19. Good look at a bad problem. The author is a friend from grad schol at the #University of #Colorado, where she was a faculty member when I was a grad student. She’s since gone on to bigger and better things, and I’ve gone on to … well, things.

    Anyway. I’ve never been particularly worried about #Cylons, #Skynet, etc. Humans doing stupid human tricks, and using #AI to do them much faster, OTOH, yeah.

    The internet community of anti-science #cranks is an example of #model #collapse happening at human speed. #Antivaxers, #creationists, #climate change #deniers et al. prey on people with legitimate questions about some particular aspect of the broad #consensus. Those people often go down an increasingly loony rabbit hole, and end up propagating the absurdity, sometimes adding their own bizarre spin which their new-found colleagues happily add to the ideology.

    If this becomes part of the #academic ecosystem, with AI reviewers approving AI-generated #papers and no human checks on the process, the scholarly corpus will become hopelessly contaminated. I have no idea what to do about that.

  23. One common feature of various anti-science ideologies is that their adherents lack a sense of scale. #FlatEarthers don’t understand distance, #creationists don’t understand time, #climate change #denialists don’t understand levels of emissions or rate of temperature change, #antivaxers don’t understand population morbidity and mortality. Probably other types of looniness with which I’m less familiar have the same underlying problem.

    In a way I sympathize with this, because the numbers are so far outside normal human experience. But learn the #math and suddenly everything makes a lot more sense. We’re not talking about anything particularly advanced. Just grasp that intution breaks down when measuring something very large or very small.
