I feel how hard it is for the doctors. Hippocratic oath etc. Patients denying vaccination but suffer vitamin A toxicity by own will. And a government supporting that.

That is not ignorance but malice.

Vitamins are important in some processes. But, they are, like everything, a chemical. Too much is not a good thing and can cause toxicity, some severe and even irreversible. You need a certain level, and unless medically determined, additional supplementation is unnecessary. More is not better!

How can we stop this madness, this dangerous disinformation? Posts, newspaper articles, statements – will these be enough to convince parents to have their children vaccinated? Who will they trust? If Kennedy doesn't back down, there will be further horrific consequences.

I don´t know. It is very dangerous, but many have turned away from facts, data and science. They seem to want to "believe" or consider themselves part of a "team". Education and information were a way in, but that is being heavily undermined. It will cause much unnecessary suffering 😪

"Disinformation – the deliberate dissemination of false or misleading information with the intention of manipulating individuals or groups – has the potential to undermine democratic discourse, fuel radicalization, and trigger hatred and violence."

When you let beliefs—whether about gender, “race”, cultural relativism, creation myths, vaccines/autism myths, “long vaccine”, “Covid acquired immune suppression”, superantigen—show up in scientific papers, you are paving the way for any conspiracy theory to thrive.

When it happens, and a conspiracy theorist becomes a minister, and you still refuse to acknowledge your mistakes and responsibility, you strengthen all conspiracy theorists.

By reflecting on academia’s complicity in this first. Ideology imposed itself in science and scientists didn’t stand up against this. Social media gained a disproportionate influence on science and scientists didn’t stand up against this.
These scientists are now putting everything on this

Kennedy guy, as if he was the cause of all this mess, while his presence is actually the consequence of their failure to kick ideology out of science.
