Dr. Todd Wolynn, left, and Chad Hermann, the communications director for Wolynn's pediatrics practice in Pittsburgh, have been speaking at conferences trying to encourage doctors to fight back on the subject of immunizations.
Since late 2017, there have been more than 50 of these online campaigns against health providers who promote vaccines, some of which have led to threats of harm that prompted calls to the police, said Chad Hermann, communications director for Kids Plus Pediatrics, a Pittsburgh practice that faced one of these online attacks in 2017 and then began tracking them.
“When pediatric practices are being … terrorized into silence, it’s going to create a void in the discourse,” Hermann said. “And we all know who’s going to fill that: the anti-vax folks.”But on Halloween, a month after her viral post, she shared a photo on Facebook. In it, she is flexing, with a Band-Aid on her arm, showing off her flu shot.
Over the next six days, he said, the video drew more than 10,000 anti-vaccine comments. Negative reviews dropped the practice’s Google rating from 4.6 to less than one star, Hermann said.“We’re in WW3,” said one anti-vaccine commenter, likening the immunization debate to a world war. “The militaries around the world need to get together and stop this insanity.”
They are working on a pro bono project to help physicians called “Shots Heard Round the World,” which includes tips on how to ban commenters, disable Facebook ratings and call in reinforcements — people who will post pro-vaccine information.
'Commenters called her a “pharma vaccine whore” and a “child killer,” One can assume that as with most activists - man-made climate change - health-care is a right, etc - these are the typical & constant traits of the hard left. Shame - Shame - Shame. Now leave the restaurant.
Plague enthusiasts. 🤦♀️
Let Lewis Black do your talking for you
Who ever thought that the new biggest threat to public health would be a bunch of ignorant white suburban parents who want to spread their anti Vaccination gospel? Kids used to DIE from whooping cough, tetanus, diphtheria before they even started kindergarten.
Germ warfare advocates.....
