Lots to unpack here, but for me a concern is how anti-science has become mainstream across America, UK, and Europe. I’ve been writing speaking on 1) how scientists are increasingly targeted, 2) my worries that the anti-science movement has become better organized and financed

Hey, this is bad. Could really use a mask mandate around these parts, Gov. Kim Reynolds.

HEARTBREAKING UPDATE | Dr. Adeline Fagan, 28, a Houston doctor who was fighting for her life after catching COVID-19 earlier in the summer, has died, according to her family. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. khou.com/article/news/h…

Here's the doc whose work most changed my thinking about public masking. She outlines the evidence that masks reduce illness severity FOR THE WEARER while potentially contributing to community immunity for COVID-19 🤯 zdoggmd.com/monica-gandhi Thanks Monica Gandhi MD, MPH!

I know, Daily Fail, but it's a fascinating article by journalist Brian Deer about a parent who worked w/ him to provide dirt on Andrew Wakefield. And this was a parent of a child with a legit vaccine injury--and she still realized Wakefield was a scammer. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8…

The science illiteracy in this country should continue to astound me, but sadly it no longer does. Here's how to interpret the latest #CDC #COVID19 data madness. zdoggmd.com/covid-death-st…

I see Jim Carrey is trending and just want to say that no matter how you feel about his films from the 90s please don’t forget that he used his platform to promote antivaxx bullshit for years and he personally is a big reason this idiotic movement has somehow made it this far

A North Austin man has placed one flag for each Texan that has died from COVID19 in his front yard. Hear his story tonight at 9pm.

#Covid19 has been a growth opportunity for anti-vaccination sites....

The movement is strongest on @Facebook… “anti-vax Facebook groups & pages command over 31 million followers, well over half of the combined following of all the accounts we studied.” niemanlab.org/2020/07/one-gr…

Today I took care of a young woman with COVID19 who just returned to NYC from a state where case numbers are surging.

She was short of breath & felt lousy.

I asked if she had advice for other young people who aren’t taking this virus seriously. Her reply:

“Stay the f**k home!”

Look, I hate masks (especially cloth ones) but they're a small price to pay to open the economy and slow spread; here are some top myths and misinformation circulating about face masks, explained. zdoggmd.com/mask-myths/

I have been debating 'anti-maskers' the last few days, and their entire argument boils down to this:

Government and Doctors: 'Wear a mask'

Anti-vaxxers: “It wasn’t vaccines that helped reduce diseases like measles & polio...it was better *HYGIENE*!! 🤗”

Also anti-vaxxers: “Wear a MASK!??! ARE YOU CRAZY!!!?! 😫”

No one actually dies from gunshots. Those who succumb to gunshots die from blood pouring out of their body, that is triggered by bullet-hole-like symptoms. That is a scientific fact. Similarly, contrary to mainstream media, no one actually dies from bazookas.

True stories emerging from Elmhurst Hospital. The lies of anti-vax conspiracy monger Erin Marie Olszewski are now leading to death threats against heroic frontline healthcare workers. Please share. @tuckercarlson get the REAL story. zdoggmd.com/elmhurst-hospi…

But public health officers mudt not be bullied, harrased or receive death threats doing their jobs. Dr. Quick in Orange County CA and Dr. Acton in Ohio resigned b/c their personal & family’s safety were threatened. #StopAntiVaxViolence ASTHO NACCHO CDC
