I’ve made it very clear we don’t need vaccine mandates, and we don’t even have the vaccines for it. This is nothing more than dog whistles from antivaccine groups aligned with the far right. They will attempt to equate vaccine advocacy with fake “health freedom” violations https://twitter.com/shrimpzoo/status/1350823191384616961

It’s one of the reasons I appreciated going on @newsmax yesterday to speak with @Tom_Basile. I was able to defuse immediately the vaccine mandates dog whistle. Will keep reaching out to conservative news outlets

As I point out about antivaccine groups: they don’t care about you or your family. They desperately seek relevancy, monetizing the internet. Aligning with far R political groups has worked for them for the last 5-6 years since 2015, now enabled by members of the US House Senate

Critical to delink the GOP from this self-defeating Antiscience obsession. I see it as the reason they lost the 2020 presidential election, and will cause further declines. Remember: National Academy of Sciences, NASA, PEPFAR were all created in Republican Administrations
