Hard for me to say how this is different from Fox News's entire business model, except that it's less sophisticated. This is transparently and obviously bad — and Elon should ban these accounts — but the spirit here of trading rage for money is pretty much a lot of right-wing media.

An account called Godly Nation tweets an AI-generated image of a Latin American family holding a sign. The sign reads "Yes we are undocumented, do you really want to deport us" The tweet got 13k comments, 1.6k retweets, and 8.1k likes. The account is based in Africa

13k comments on one tweet is a massive payout. All of the tweets follow a certain formula, so the content is likely automated using AI technology (e.g., AI generated images and text). Basically running it as a money printing machine. But for those in the US, it translates to low simmering rage.

A Twitter account called Ivanka News tweets an AI image of a young woman wearing Muslim garb. The woman is holding a sign that says "I came here illegally. Should I be deported?" Ivanka News writes: What is your response to this person ?? In the "About this account" tab, it appears the account is based in Nigeria

An account called MAGA scope writes: Who, in your view is the great enemy of the United States? Communism, Islam, Democratic Party, or Satan? The account is based in Nigeria.

An account called MAGA Nadine writes: You go to work and find this. What would you do? The attached pic is an AI image that shows a microwave. The microwave has a sign that says "For religious reasons, this microwave is now making halal food only." The account is based in Morocco.

An account called America First posts an AI image of Tulsi Gabbard. They wrote: How would you rate your trust in Tulsi Gabbard on a scale of 1-10?

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Why is the Church of Scientology helping antivaxers in a last ditch attempt to block passage of SB 276? California SB 276, a bill to clamp down on bogus medical exemptions to school vaccine mandates, is almost law. Why are Scientologists helping antivaxers oppose it?

SB277 was passed into law first but antivaxxers found a way to bypass using licensed #quacks to write bogus medical exemption. That's why they followed up with SB276 to fix it

Read what @gorskon.bsky.social wrote in 2019 and it's easy to understand.

Peter C. Gøtzsche as the pathetic clown he really is.

END/ 🤡 Gøtzsche fails to grasp journalists, clinicians & scientists as those mentioned & many more helped warn us RFK Jr. is a threat to public health for over 20 years.

Peter Gøtzsche's claim of BMJ engaging in "character assassination" of Sec 🧠🪱 is just clown talk given what we've seen recently.

The absolute low point in the BMJ was when Gavin Yamey and David Gorski attempted character assassination of the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration in an opinion piece in 2021. Martin Kulldorff described elsewhere what was wrong with their article. It was full of serious errors; the attempt to link the authors to the Koch brothers was an ad hominem attack of the highest order; the Declaration, which challenged an orthodoxy, was accused of peddling a "well-funded sophisticated science denialist campaign based on ideological and corporate interests" but no one paid the authors for their work or for advocating focused protection; and Yamey and Gorski urged people to use "political and legal strategies" rather than scientific argument to counter the Declaration. I wonder what the motives are for the BMJ to commit systematic character assassination. When things are difficult to explain, I often "follow the money." When I looked up an article about Kennedy on BMJ's website, an advertisement for Gilead popped up at the top of the screen:

21/ I'm not going into much else except the pathetic pearl clutching act 🤡 Gøtzsche does at the end (pg 14) and the #GreatBarringtonDefecation he defends.

He claims the lowest point of @bmj.com was @gavinyamey.bsky.social & @gorskon.bsky.social GBD opinion in 2021. But here's what the 🤡 missed...

The clown Peter Gøtzsche fearmongering bullshit published October 6, 2025.

20/ Turned out back in October 2025, the 🤡 Gøtzsche wrote up some fearmongering nonsense about Aluminium for none other than Brownshit Institute.

In other words, he cited his own anti-vax trope talk in his latest crap for JAPH.

Archive Today: archive.ph/Dz35d

A Fatally Flawed Study about Aluminium Adjuvants in Vaccines Annals of Internal Medicine refused Kennedy's request to retract a Danish register study of 1.2 million children,90 which found that vaccines containing aluminium adjuvants did not increase the incidence of 50 chronic disorders, including autism and asthma. The journal's editor felt the study was "among the strongest research currently available" to address whether the dose of vaccine was related to chronic conditions. Kennedy, "a vaccine critic," called the study "so deeply flawed it functions not as science but as a deceitful propaganda stunt by the pharmaceutical industry." "Kennedy, who has often called vaccines a cause of autism, accused the authors of not including the children who did not receive any vaccines as a control group. However, only 1.2% (15 237) of the children did not receive any aluminium adsorbed vaccine before age 2 - too small to be a control group." This is wrong. It is what the authors said when challenged, but when othet researchers included the unvaccinated control group, it turned out that the study was fatally flawed. BMJ repeated that Kennedy had cancelled funding for mRNA vaccines and had been criticised for his response to the measles outbreak. BMJ also criticised Kennedy for saying that three of the authors were affiliated with Denmark's Statens Serum Institut, a government owned vaccine company, because "The institute sold its vaccine division in 2017." This is a bit like saying that if Pfizer sold a particular group of drugs to another company, people working for Pfizer cannot be conflicted when they report on such drugs. Kennedy accused Annals of failing to share raw data. The BMJ noted that "the authors say that Danish data privacy regulations prohibit sharing raw data," but this is not correct. Data can be pseudonymised and shared with other researchers on a secure platform.

19/ 🤡 Gøtzsche goes from Mercury hype to Aluminium hype.

No shame giving yourself a Godzilla facepalm knowing this is just another pathetic anti-vax trope.

There was a citation I was wondering of. So I checked who, where, and when it was published. Let me just say I'm not surprised what I found.

Personalized Cancer Vaccines Are Almost Here—But Federal Funding Cuts Could Derail Them Vaccines based on mRNA can be tailored to target a cancer patient’s unique tumor mutations. But crumbling support for cancer and mRNA vaccine research has endangered this promising therapy

18/ BTW, the latest @sciam.bsky.social covers this very topic in the December 2025 issue and how NIH cuts will hamper progress.

mRNA is not "just" for COVID or influenza vaccines but 🤡Gøtzsche and Sec 🧠🪱 fail to recognize that very basic fact.
www.scientificamerican.com/article/pers...

Plans about Producing Better Vaccines When the HHS and the NIH announced a $500m programme to develop flu and coronavirus vaccines using an approach to protect against multiple virus strains, NIH director Jay Bhattacharya called it a paradigm shift, whereas "Experts expressed surprise at the level of investment in older technology." Kennedy cancelled the same amount of funding for development of mRNA vaccines and explained that the decision was made after a comprehensive review of mRNA related investments during Covid and that the data showed the vaccines failed to protect effectively against Covid and flu: "We're shifting that funding toward safer, broader vaccine platforms that remain effective even as viruses mutate." The BMJ didn't cite anyone who thought it was a good idea to develop better vaccines but wrote: "Many experts were fiercely critical of the move"; "beyond shortsighted;" the most dangerous public health decision by the federal government in over 50 years; "it reinforces the impression that, in spite of his protestations, RFK Jr is antivaccine;" and "mRNA vaccines were an extremely important tool in saving the lives of people from Covid." We don't know if the Covid vaccines have saved few or many lives.

17/ One thing I can say right off the bat is 🤡 Gøtzsche is a f**king idiot. His "Plans about Producing Better Vaccines" only emphasizes mRNA use in vaccines yet fails to even address how it could be used in other ways like for cancers.

The 🤡 is embracing the same wilful ignorance Sec 🧠🪱 does.

Removing Mercury from Vaccines A nurse who had worked with Kennedy and Children's Health Defense, his "antivaccine group," gave a presentation at the June ACIP meeting on the supposed risks of thiomersal (thimerosal, a mercury-based compound used as a preservative in multi-dose vaccines), which "was not vetted by experts in vaccine science beforehand, as is customary." However, information that has been vetted by CDC's vaccine experts is often highly misleading. When the BMJ announced that Kennedy had banned thiomersal from influenza vaccines in a "safety" move to enhance public confidence in immunisation, they did not praise the move but repeated that vaccine sceptics had falsely linked thiomersal to autism for decades.82 They ignored that mercury is not needed and might cause other harms. Therefore, according to the precautionary principle in drug regulation, mercury should disappear from vaccines. BMJ took other old horses out of the stable claiming that the new ACIP was "made up of Kennedy's ideological allies." But they were inconsistent and noted that the American Academy of Paediatrics and the US Public Health Service recommended removal of thiomersal from vaccines after a 1999 FDA review; that it had been removed from almost all vaccines in the US and wasn't present in any of the annual flu vaccines used in Britain.

16/ 🤡Gøtzsche rants further about BMJ but pg 9's "Removing Mercury from Vaccines" got me asking "Why didn't he just say 'Removing Thimerosal from Vaccines' instead?"

Oh that's right! The 🤡 did it to placate Sec 🧠🪱's audience using Mercury as another trigger word like he did in his Abstract.

BMJ Ambushes Martin Kulldorff Kennedy's dismissal of all 17 members of ACIP was called his most dangerous change to date, which would further fuel the spread of vaccine preventable illnesses. He said that most of the members had received substantial funding from drug firms and that ACIP had become little more than a rubber stamp for any vaccine. Makary would also limit industry ties and industry participation and would boost patient and caregiver input. Discussions were underway to establish an independent US vaccine committee. At long last, something positive about Kennedy's vaccine reforms in the BMJ: The new committee would be independent. An ousted member sent mixed messages. He said the abrupt changes had dramatically undermined trust in ACIP but also that the eight new ACIP members were critical thinkers. Another BMJ journalist did not say anything positive about the new members. Vicky Pebsworth had questioned the safety of vaccines; Michael Ross had not published any scientific papers; and Robert Malone, who was involved with the development of the mRNA technology, had denounced it and was a prominent figure in the antivaccine movement. BMJ ambushed Martin Kulldorff, the new head of ACIP: A Swedish biostatistician who coauthored the Great Barrington Declaration, which advocated for lifting lockdowns to build herd immunity; fired as professor from Harvard when he refused to take the Covid vaccine; and earned thousands of dollars as an expert witness in litigation against Merck's Gardasil HPV vaccine, counter to ACIP rules, as members cannot do this while serving on the panel.

10/ Something weird happens on pg 7 and it's this "BMJ Ambushes Martin Kulldorff" story 🤡 Gøtzsche gets into.

Our 🤡 Gøtzsche thinks we all associate ACIP Chair Martin Kulldorff with "just" being a GBD co-author back in 2020 except...

RFK Jr pledges to find the cause of autism 'by September' Autism researchers and experts call the effort, which is short on detail, misguided and unrealistic.

9/ On the 11th of April 2025, HHS Sec 🧠🪱 made a very bold announcement he failed to even try to achieve:

"By September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we'll be able to eliminate those exposures"

🤡 Gøtzsche is too cowardly to address this moment.
www.bbc.com/news/article...

Autism Research A vaccine sceptic, David Geier, who had often claimed that vaccines cause autism and was disciplined for practising medicine without a license, was appointed to head the CDC's large study to investigate a possible link between vaccines and autism. This was an exceptionally bad decision. The president of the nonprofit Autism Science Foundation that funds autism research said that it seemed that the goal was to prove that vaccines cause autism even though they don't. She noted that the Institute of Medicine had found the many database studies from Sweden, Denmark, the UK, and the U.S. persuasive while Geier's studies were so flawed as to be uninterpretable.

8/ The "Autism Research" is a pathetic joke by the 🤡 Gøtzsche.

Reminder: This crap was published this month but the 🤡 omitted a very important statement Sec 🧠🪱 made months prior I'll remind you of very shortly.

Kennedy was sworn in on 13 February 2025. His vaccine denial, dangerous conspiracy theories, and erosion of trust in public health institutions were repeated, the Covid vaccine was "the deadliest vaccine ever made," and he had cancelled the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) annual flu vaccination campaign, which highlighted its ability to prevent severe complications. However, flu shots are pretty ineffective and trials have never documented that they prevent severe complications or deaths. Moreover, the CDC's propaganda is highly misleading, touting colossal effects of vaccination without any hint that the claims come from unreliable case-control studies. This is what we call "torture your data till they confess."

7/ The "Reactions when Kennedy Had Become Health Secretary" gets very bad from the start.

He says "flu shots are pretty ineffective" but omits factors as to what strain of influenza is going around or at-risk populations with immune or other issues understand getting vaccinated against flu helps.

Kennedy does not oppose disease prevention. He has repeatedly talked about preventing chronic diseases,12,13 and many people thought ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine worked for Covid. These drugs are ineffective, but Kennedy is not alone in being mistaken. The drug industry and their paid allies among doctors make fortunes on promoting useless treatments, and their activities are highly deadly. Over 18,000 doctors and 77 Nobel laureates urged the Senate to reject Kennedy as health secretary and it was called a baseless conspiracy to link school shootings to antidepressants. It is not a conspiracy to interpret the science, which is clear: Antidepressants can cause violence and in some cases homicide. When Kennedy had been approved by the Senate Finance Committee, BMJ repeated that he was unqualified.30 He would implement Trump's agenda, which included anti-abortion views, and would rely on science regarding vaccines, "but when presented with stacks of scientific studies showing that vaccines did not cause autism he deferred and suggested that more studies were needed." When Kennedy said he would give the referral fees from a law firm suing Merck over its HPV vaccine Gardasil to his son, two Senators called it "plainly inadequate."

6/ The "Calls to Prevent Kennedy from Becoming Health Secretary" covers a lot but our 🤡 fails to acknowledge the BMJ were right all along:
"but when presented with stacks of scientific studies showing that vaccines did not cause autism he deferred and suggested that more studies were needed."

Work by Steve Benson

5/ Credit to the late Steve Benson for the work he created when the Disneyland measles outbreak happened.

It's a depiction of Mickey Mouse infected with measles thinking "F**KING ANTI-VACCINATION MOVEMENT!" with two infected kids in front.

Let's not forget that like the 🤡 Gøtzsche did.

When Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was nominated as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) in the United States, many people panicked because of his sometimes bizarre statements and stance on vaccines, above all his misguided belief that the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine causes autism. I have known Kennedy since 2019 but have been unable to convince him that he should stop supporting Andrew Wakefield whose fraudulent study The Lancet retracted. In my view, America has a unique opportunity to break the taboos and to introduce better vaccine policies with Kennedy at the helm. I agree with him that we know far too little about vaccine harms and that we should not approve new vaccines without placebo-controlled studies. As the reactions to Kennedy's initiatives have been almost uniformly negative, I studied how the narratives are framed.

4/ The Introduction our 🤡 Gøtzsche wrote was playing too nice with RFK Jr while intentionally omitting history of the 🧠🪱 being against CA's SB276 and 277 (thank you @drpanmd.bsky.social & other CA lawmakers) following the measles outbreaks at Disneyland over a decade ago in 2015.

Abstract The reactions to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s initiatives to improve vaccine safety have been almost uniformly negative. I studied how the narratives were framed in a cohort of 33 articles in the BMJ of which 30 were written by journalists or the editor. I focused on whether the reporting was balanced and informative, and whether the articles saw any merit in Kennedy's reforms in his role as Secretary of Health and Human Services or supported the status quo. The reporting in the BMJ was highly biased. Much of the information provided in Kennedy's disfavour was misleading, and some was wrong. All initiatives at improving vaccine safety were condemned, without any analysis of their merits in an evidence-based fashion. Instead, the BMJ cited people who had their own agendas and who condemned Kennedy without providing any evidence in their favour while expressing faith in vaccines, with the industry mantra that they are safe and effective, although all drugs will harm some people. The BMJ did not take any interest in the widespread and lethal corruption in US healthcare institutions - one of Kennedy's focus points - but toned it down. Despite the constant ad hominem attacks, Kennedy has succeeded to introduce important changes and plans related to vaccine safety, guidance about how vaccines are used, and about avoiding neurotoxic metals in vaccine adjuvants.

3/ How bad is the BMJ according to our clown?

Read the trigger words I found in the Abstract the 🤡 Gøtzsche used:

"highly biased"
"industry mantra"
