It’s easy to sit back & promote vax disinfo & herd immunity when you’re not actively engaged in pandemic response & frontline recovery efforts.. bc this shit is hard, often thankless, and requires you to be robust while taking it on the chin. (2/3)

A pretty consistent (& disappointing) commonality among many of the new nominations for critical roles in our nation’s health, is both the sharing of health misinfo, but also pushing dangerous pandemic response measures while systematically dumping on public health (1/2).

To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.
