1640744701249609728 | This is an unbearably painful piece to read A very extreme, very ghastly group of anti-vaccine activists terrorizes the grieving parents of dead children; what kind of person does this, and why? https://t.co/UpBwvk9Amb | 273 |
1640133172770877444 | The Great Barrington Declaration launched a right wing think tank, Brownstone Brownstone thinks it’s no problem if states ban abortion—women can just get a $200 plane ticket to a different state! If that fails, give the baby up for adoption! Anti-vaxx/anti-abortion overlap 😳 https://t.co/zszSLr4x9s | 80 |
1639025729945092098 | Brilliant interview with @BillHanage He always gives great quote: “It’s a really stupid idea to schedule the end of a pandemic, because viruses don’t have Outlook calendars” Thx to @gregggonsalves for alerting me to this piece https://t.co/401CCUHcZi | 72 |
1643059286010916864 | I find this profoundly unhelpful (& also unsurprising, coming from these 2 authors) There are people in my life with disabling Long Covid (one took medical retirement due to cardiac & lung damage) People with LC need recognition, research & rehab/treatment—not gaslighting 1/2 https://t.co/vA6bY0mgw6 | 59 |
1643715572985896964 | The very worst paper of the pandemic, written & funded by anti-vax activists, published by @BioMedCentral Infectious Diseases, is FINALLY being retracted👏 The brilliant @stephaniemlee investigates Great reporting, with comments from @GidMK & @gorskon https://t.co/Y2KwCzrgum | 54 |
1644460735924252673 | What on earth is going on? Ron DeSantis recently launched a vaccine panel: Bret Weinstein & Drs Hoeg, Ladapo, Bhattacharya & Kulldorff (https://t.co/idH9Jyf72C) Is the entire purpose of this panel to cast doubt on the safety/efficacy of the vaccine? 😳 https://t.co/OIOicL75bl | 36 |
1645393208128446466 | It's NOT a stupid news story: "Florida health officials removed key data from COVID vaccine report" [H/T @dr_jon_l, who, with @DrKatEpi, received a FOIA of the early drafts of this study showing the study was edited to support an anti-vax policy] https://t.co/OIOicL75bl https://t.co/2DwmBp0d8k | 33 |
1639055288836796417 | Obviously, by now I am totes used to the Great Barrington Declaration fans & the anti-vaxxers calling for my execution, but they usually suggest beheading or hanging—this is the first time they have suggested, um, crucifixion 😳 https://t.co/pJKSkJHu58 | 33 |
1643971938245836802 | If Ron DeSantis becomes President, I suspect we'll have 2 GBDers, Drs Ladapo & Bhattacharya, leading U.S. public health (e.g. HHS & CDC leads) If RFK Jr becomes President, I suspect we'll have 2 GBDers, Drs Ladapo & Bhattacharya, leading U.S. public health (e.g. HHS & CDC leads) https://t.co/Pz1MYar7uU | 14 |
1645235247313829894 | I once had a roommate when I lived in San Francisco who had a new boyfriend, & the first time I met him, apropos of nothing, he said “When you think about it, you have to admit that the Nazis had some good ideas” Before telling him I was Jewish, I asked “What do you mean?” 1/2 | 13 |

1645822139730210817 | Who knew plantar fasciitis could be this painful? 😢 | 51 |
1645231114926137344 | Hand on my heart, I genuinely, truly did not expect to see all the tweets saying “it’s totally normal & fine & unproblematic to amass Nazi memorabilia” 😳 Is this really a common thing? Am I just woefully naive & in fact lots of guys (they all seem to be men) collect Nazi stuff? | 46 |

1641100755309322242 | I’m trying to think of any other state or federal surgeon general who has appeared on a QAnon podcast & now on Robert F Kennedy Jr’s podcast—I can’t recall a single one Dr Ladapo—original GBD signatory & one of America’s Frontline Doctors—risks undermining public health 😳 https://t.co/XlLoc8zNzi | 3 |
