Dr. Celine Gounder:

Well, there are certain strategies that you see or tactics that are used over and over and over again by these disinformation spreaders.

The first is fake experts. So there was a propaganda — anti-vaccine propaganda film that came out this fall that made use of funeral directors and the like to put out disinformation. These are not people who are experts in any way about vaccines, about infectious diseases or immunology. So that's one characteristic.

Here she dismisses something concerning that is being observed by morticians because they're not 'experts' in her eyes.
This is a classic Ad Hominem, a logical fallacy and then without skipping a beat she goes to characterize other arguments logical fallacies

Then you have what are called logical fallacies, which are essentially mental shortcuts that we use when we're bombarded with information. And a great example of this is, if A happens before B, that does not necessarily mean A caused B. And now 80 percent — over 80 percent of the people in this country have gotten one dose of vaccine. That does not mean that you can attribute all of the deaths that now occur in this country to COVID vaccines.

What she's saying is true, just because someone dies after receiving the vaccine does not mean the vaccine contributed to their death in any way.
We can also apply this to Covid deaths, which are inflated by continuing to wrongfully reportthat anyone that dies after contracting Covid as a Covid death

Then you have impossible expectations. So an example of that are the people who said, I'm going to wait until the FDA issues full approval for vaccines, and then I will know it's safe enough. And then, after the full approval was issued, the goalposts moved, and they said, no, I still don't think there's enough data.

Once again, without any sense of irony she accuses others of constantly moving the goal posts; she seems to forget that we went from "the vaccine stops you from getting covid to the vaccine isn't responsible for all of the excess deaths, could be eggs or something

And, finally, you have cherry-picking of data, so looking for the data that supports your hypothesis, even though it may not actually be connected or make sense. And then conspiracy theories, or, really, lies, about — one example of this would be microchips and vaccines. That simply is not true. There are no microchips in our vaccines to track people.

What data is being cherry picked, she at least lists examples in her other paragraphs, here I guess we're just supposed to take her at her word

But these are the characteristics or tactics that you see over and over and over again in this anti-vaxxer playbook.

There is no "anti-vaxxer" playbook. You have many people for many different reasons refusing to get vaxxed. Some of the reasons sound dumb to me but those people get to make that choice as no one has a right to force it on them. In this argument there's only one side that was screaming for people to be forced into something

This woman is a doctor who was married to a journalist that died of a heart attack while reporting at the world cup. Poor woman was tortured by these anti vaxxers, they are approaching antifa, blm levels at this point, torturing mentally the people who are trying to grieve.
