We should all be enraged that we were told lies about the COVID vaccine. Today, I spoke with @RW MaloneMD about both of our decisions to take the vax, our govt’s gaslighting & propaganda campaign, and what happened when Malone tried to alert the FDA & Pelosi to data flaws. THREAD:

The vile media mischaracterization of Trump's July 4 speech is extraordinary gaslighting. The speech wasn't dark. And it wasn't "out of nowhere" or "aggressive." It was prompted by weeks of rioting, looting, tearing down monuments, and lying about Americans both dead and alive.

Dear @realDonaldTrump  supporters: SCOTUS is not getting involved. We wish it would. What a case! But unfortunately, that is a fever dream of gaslighting, insular, pro-Trump media that collects your attention, energy & money by deceiving you into seeing hope where none exists.

Joe Biden name-checked "white nationalists" once, "white supremacists" once, "right-wing militias" twice and "armed militias" once in his supposedly unifying anti-violence speech yesterday. He did not mention Antifa or BLM. This is gaslighting and cowardice.

Trump again gaslighting on protests saying the demonstrators are practicing social distancing. They aren’t.

Here's the thing-- Mitch McConnell is gaslighting us. Republicans rammed through a bill to give huge tax breaks to corporations and the mega-rich, and now they're using its consequences as an excuse to propose cuts to Medicare and Medicaid. It's all part of the GOP fever dream.
