Anti-Trans Policy Deserves Same Scrutiny as Trumpβs Tylenol Disinformation
As a trans journalist, I see corporate media outlets as inconsistent in their treatment of right-wing disinformation.

Vaccines donβt prevent infection. Vaccines are meant to produce immunological memory and antibody production, so that when you get infected, your immune system can rapidly respond to eliminate the pathogen and prevent serious complications, including death.
Vaccines donβt cause autism!
