THAT — variolation — had a mortality rate of 3%. Better than the 30% smallpox itself had, but can you IMAGINE if any vaccine today had that risk? Yet RFK Jr. wants to pretend scientific progress is bad. 2/

He’s wrong. As usual. EVERY vaccine was new technology at one point in history. EVERYTHING was once new. That isn’t a reason to reject something. OLD doesn’t mean better. Newer vaccines replace older ones if they are safer, more rigorously manufactured, or more effective. 3/

Of course he is wrong. He never tried to be right. Goal of decoupling healthcare from facts leads to huge profits without research. Drug companies need not produce results, healthcare needs not save lives. Pure wealth extraction. Eventually, people simply die when no longer needed for labor.

"There are two kinds of fools in the world: One says, this is old and therefore good. The other says, this is new and therefore better." mRNA vaccines have HUGE promise. Certainly, COVID was an amazing success. It should continue to be researched and developed.

mRNA vaccines are safe, have been in development for decades, & have far broader applications than older vaccine technologies. New vaccine technologies evolve when scientists have tools & knowledge to make something more elegant or complex that wasn’t possible before. 5/

It’s the reason there are more vaccines today than in the 1960s. Scientific progress. If we froze vaccine science in the 18th century, we’d still be variolating kids with live smallpox. If we froze it in the 1950s, we’d shrug our shoulders at febrile seizures after DTP. 6/

If we freeze it now, we abandon future breakthroughs: cancer vaccines, universal flu shots, mRNA science able to combat the next pandemic in weeks versus years. RFK Jr & those that enable him are a threat to global health. Read more: news.immunologic.org/p/old-vaccin... 🧵

Exactly, but how do we get this information out to the Neanderthal DNA carrying half of the country? How do we educate the ignorant? They rejected knowledge before in history and set mankind back a few centuries, and now they’re going to do it again.

On a side note I just discovered some Neanderthals had Down’s Syndrome just like human populations. I tried but failed to imagine what a Neanderthal w/ Down’s would look like. Holy fuck

I know I’m grasping. The myth that Neanderthals were slower than homosapiens has been debunked. But I just can’t figure out why people revert to superstition and anti science, trying not to learn from history etc. I guess I was just hoping it was genetic and not learned behavior. What could it be?

Humans. Experts on conspiracy theories (broadly defined) disagree on the exact percentage, but they’re in agreement that an overwhelming majority of Americans, 2/3, 3/4, or more, believe in at least one common, well-debunked theory. And why shouldn’t they, most of the time? 1/

Most are mostly harmless, taken in moderation. While believing six impossible things before breakfast takes talent and practice, holding mutually contradictory beliefs is really common. It takes a lot of mental and emotional energy to chase down the paradoxes and resolve them. 2/

Why bashing Neanderthals? There is no justification for it. The thought that we were heinous, dense or primitive was based upon a Victorian sense of superiority rather than on any scientific proof.
