This needed to be published a while ago.

Y'all tell me to hashtag resist.
But when I hashtag resist a transphobic politician who would gladly throw my community to the wolves, suddenly I'm supposed to shut up for the "Greater Good"

It doesn’t bioaccumulate.
It doesn’t cross the placenta or blood-brain barrier.
It doesn’t cause neurotoxicity.
It DOES prevent contamination with harmful microorganisms, which is why it has been used for one HUNDRED years.

Claiming thimerosal is mercury is like saying water (H2O) is hydrogen gas.

The result? US will no longer recommend vaccines with thimerosal (a safe preservative).
This lie, now policy, will ripple around the world, destroying vaccine trust, access, & uptake.
