Steve Kirsch: Vaccines cause The Trans and The Gay!

Misinformation superspreaderr Kirsch
Steve Kirsch: Misinformation superspreader. He means it ironically, but in fact it is an accurate description of what he’s become.

Just when I thought Steve Kirsch couldn’t get any more ridiculous, he does another online survey linking vaccines to The Gay and The Trans, this one even more risibly incompetent than his usual.

An antivaxxer abuses evolution to go full transphobe

Antivaxxer James Lyons-Weiler, like so many antivaxxers, just let his transphobe freak flag fly high. Does he have to abuse evolution too?

“New school” anti-(COVID-19)-vaxxers are all-in on “old school” vaccines-cause-autism antivax

Old School
New school antivaxxers are becoming more and more like old school antivaxxers.

Over the last month, Orac has noticed that “new school” COVID-19 antivaxxers are rediscovering old school “vaccines cause autism” pseudoscience in a huge way. Also, there’s transphobia. Lots of transphobia. WTF is going on?

TransTopia? Another antivaxxer goes full transphobe

David Dees and TransTopia
I picked this David Dees illustration because it encapsulates the attitude of the antivaccine movement towards trans people, whom antivaxxers view as "victims" of "contamination" from vaccines.

Antivaxxers have increasingly been showing themselves to be transphobic bigots as well. The latest example is “TransTopia,” where, thanks to mRNA vaccines, transgender is a “stepping stone” to transhumanism.

Antivax and transphobia: Two crappy tastes that taste crappy together

Transphobia and antivax
Toby Rogers appears to buy into the lie that vaccines cause transgenderism, although not because of "male" DNA. (That one is so pre pandemic.)

There’s long been a lot of transphobia among antivaxxers. As anti-trans bigotry increases in society, more and more antivaxxers are anti-trans. Enter Toby Rogers, who thinks “overvaccination” causes the trans.
