“David Geier is NOT a vaccine skeptic. Stop calling him that.
Letting him head an “investigation” into vaccines and autism will legitimize his decades of lies and illegal medical treatments that harmed children.”

Moroccan authorities have stepped up efforts to increase measles vaccinations as the country faces an epidemic of “historic levels”, France24 reports. Over 120 people have died in the outbreak local authorities are attributing to the global anti-vax movement which has gained a sizeable following since the Covid-19 pandemic. #measles #vaccines #outbreak #Africa #Morocco #Maroc #PublicHealth #epidemiology #AntiVaxx
The Venn diagram of "Not voting" and "Not vaccinated" is nearly a perfect circle.

"#AntiVaxx Mom Whose Daughter Died From #Measles Says Disease 'Wasn't That Bad'"
This is the weight of prideful #ignorance
People for whom the death of their child is not as painful as saying "I was wrong" or "I didn't know" or "I'm sorry"
It is weighing on society as well
This will be the death of us

"The Right’s ‘Natural’ Meat Obsession Is a Regressive Fantasy" by @sentientmedia
<>
Another component for Kennedy of what constitutes “natural” is taking on things like red food dye, seed oils and ultra-processed foods — while promoting tallow, raw milk and grass-fed beef.

Vegans often are faced with fallacious arguments, and one of the most common is the Naturalistic fallacy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalistic_fallacy
However, this is often a bad faith disguise. The use of naturalistic fallacies in these contexts, such as the claim that consuming animals is "good" because it's natural, is a disguise for another more insidious fallacy: the traditionalist fallacy or "appeal to tradition".
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_tradition
The traditionalist fallacy is, in this context, the argument that "consuming animals is good because we've done it for thousands of years".
Traditionalism is heavily political, as the people are finding out again in places such as the US. It's sometimes known as "paleoconservatism", and it should be no surprise that the popularity of the "paleo diet" culturally connects to this.
Conservatives, ever since the rise of modernity (end of 'traditional' society, end of monarchism and feudalism) have been trying to reinvent the past through pseudointellectual and pseudoscientific efforts. This has been at the heart of incredible amounts of suffering and horror since then. I have some notes on that on my pinned thread: https://veganism.social/deck/@veganpizza69/110813538364525265
Bullshit & snake oil are not vegan.
A creepy and entitled rich man wants to infect every American child with measles like a comic book supervillain but one third of Americans voted for that so what can you?
"Submit and Conform!"
#FYI #measles #antivaxx #vaccinate
Not just ask if their child is vaccinated. Also ask for a proof, ask for the vaccine certificate. If they are decent people, they won't mid. If they object in ANY way, run!
That's true. That's because the EU has STRICTER REGULATION of the food industry. They have BIG GOV'T making their food better.
If you want that, fine, but that't the exact opposite of everything the Republican party has been fighting for for about a century now.
What in the actual fuck??
「 The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is planning a large study into potential connections between vaccines and autism, two sources told Reuters, despite extensive scientific research that has disproven or failed to find evidence of such links 」

Formerly anti-vax parents on how they changed their minds: ‘I really made a mistake’
https://www.theguardian.com/global/2025/feb/27/how-anti-vax-parents-changed-their-minds
It's wonderful when someone's willing to learn and change their mind
jem bendell, jeffrey sachs and chris hedges for example have done some important work before they went full delulu. i still have their books, lol. what do i do with it?
ugo bardi, also, although he is just a minor case of antivaxx bc he's a fucking hippie
people keep saying to me why i don't just do "my thing".
so the problem i am running into now is that i can't even share anymore all the work that has been done by US #deepadaption and #degrowth folks because they all became #antivaxx #vatnik #jillstein #russianasset traitors and i am an inch away from just stealing it without referencing them. all of it.
RFKJnr already killed many children in Samoa. What's some more?
"Unfortunately, with the new administration and new leadership in the Department of Health and Human Services, we have entered a twilight zone where scientific studies are treated with far less respect than social media posts fueled by misinformation and conspiracy theories. I see the results in my office every day."

Oh, ffs..... They're actually doing this?
Red #antivaxx states lost WAY more people to COVID, compared to blue states!
And STILL they didn't learn shit?
If this means #USA loses control of otherwise preventable deceases, this WILL become a huge threat to any European who cannot get the regular vaccines!
So, are we going to ground all TransAtlantic flights now, or should we wait until it's too late... again?
Texas, USA: Wegen niedriger Impfraten breitet sich ein Masernausbruch weiter aus. Die Opfer sind meistens Kinder, sie sollen alle ungeimpft sein.
Die meisten US-Staaten erlauben Ausnahmen von der Impfpflicht aus religiösen und persönlichen Gründen.
Ganz vorne dabei sind auch in den USA die #Waldorfschulen und #Waldorfkindergärten.
