Julia Mancuso (retired Olympic champion World Cup skier) responded to my tweet about her peddling anti-vaxx quackery.

Curious where you get your news? There is a lot of dangerous propaganda out there. I hope everyone will begin to wake up and understand the truth is being silenced. 🙏✌️❤️

“I’m just providing information.” Typical anti-vaxx response.

I don’t understand- I posted an article that goes against the grain. The author, Beda M Stadler is the former director of the Institute for Immunology at the University of Bern, a biologist and professor emeritus. It’s not about VACCINES!

This is the article she retweeeted. The tweeter is an anti-vaxx crackpot.

THEY WERE WRONG ABOUT COVID FROM THE BEGINNING! This world renowned scientist CONNECTS ALL THE DOTS. We’ve got to stop listening to “Immunity Deniers”. #FireFauci #CovIdiots #BeBrave https://t.co/uXMJjXDpRt

That article is chock full of bad science (COVID-19 is just a bad cold, will go away in the summer, masks don’t slow the spread, those claims are patently false). Plus, you retweeted this, if this isn’t anti-vaccine I don’t know what is. pic.twitter.com/C7ZBx0poyg

Sucks when someone you once admired turns out to be an anti-science loon. She’s lost several hundred followers today, including myself.
