There was a doctor who refused
To get her license renewed
For objecting to vaccinate
She chose to remain obstinate
Now her medical license has been misused

“#SensibleMedicine is a monetized Subtstack that spreads overt #antivaccine #misinformation. Though the doctors who run it claim to be “medical conservatives”, they mostly took a medically radical approach to a new, mutating virus, treating it as an overhyped, predictable entity from the #pandemic’s earliest days.” https://med-mastodon.com/@gorskon/110871902516322876

Folks who have followed #antivaccine propaganda for many years probably remember Desiree Jennings, the cheerleader who got a flu shot and then had weird sequelae, including being able to only walk backwards. She's recently spoken about her experience and who's shocked that antivaccine advocates did her dirty? She eventually went back to school to get a degree in molecular biology and is looking for work on #vaccines.

“For the #AntiVaccine movement, Desiree was the start of a fresh chapter of a playbook that’s still in use today. But she was a blip, a story that emerged at the beginning of a new media age and a moment of opportunity — quickly seized upon and then buried. She remains cemented in popular culture, and her videos go through waves of virality still. Every so often, Desiree is recalled or newly discovered, and a whole new audience gets to weigh in.”

‘#FluShotCheerleader’ Desiree Jennings is back with a warning https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/desiree-jennings-flu-shot-anti-vaccine-media-rcna97724 “And she wants to offer a warning. Desiree’s story is one of the earliest and best-known examples of the kind of unproven and emotionally-charged accounts that power the modern #AntiVaccine crusade. What happened to her is especially relevant now, when the movement is arguably at the height of its power.”

As Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., challenges President Joe Biden, the stories he tells about himself, his life’s work and what he stands for are often the opposite of what his record actually shows.

В 2011 году было опубликовано исследование, согласно которому, чем насыщеннее в стране календарь вакцинации, тем выше младенческая смертность.

В новом исследовании (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10358295/) авторы повторили тот же анализ с новыми данными (2019 и 2021 года), и получили те же самые результаты. Тем больше в стране младенческих вакцин - тем выше смертность.

Также, в странах, где нет вакцинации новорожденных, средняя младенческая смертность меньше на 1.28 на 1000 рождений, чем в странах, где новорожденных вакцинируют.

In vaccination champ Brazil, many have stopped getting shots

>#Brazil, [..] was hailed as a champion of mass #vaccination drives.
Then an anti-vax movement started spreading around 2016, soon gaining outsize influence via a powerful ally: #FarRight leader Jair #Bolsonaro, [..] who refused to be vaccinated against #Covid19 joking the jab could “turn you into an alligator”.

>“It’s very sad to see how a country [..] can suddenly suffer from an #antivaccine movement,”

RFK Jr.'s anti-vaxx views also reinforce damaging autism stereotypes, advocates say | Salon.com https://www.salon.com/2023/06/30/rfk-jr-spreads-bigotry-against-autistic-people--and-autistic-people-arent-taking-it-anymore/ “Autistic people have been victimized by #RFK Jr. for decades. By spreading #AntiVaccine #misinformation — and specifically inaccurately insisting that vaccines cause #autism — RFK Jr. has spread dangerous prejudices against autistic people. These assumptions have harmed them in the past and continue to harm them in the present.”

Having one moderated by a clueless contrarian, and buoyed by a loudmouthed billionaire, would be one surefire way to make it even worse.”

i will never get the Covid Vaccine , i dont care about getting a non lethal disease or a toxic shot that will likely kill me #Pureblood #AntiVaccine
