In conjunction w/the domain seizures, the US #Treasury Dept announced the designation of 10 individuals & 2 entities as part of a coordinated response to #Russia’s #MalignInfluence efforts targeting the 2024 U.S. presidential election. This announcement follows the designation of actors involved in #Doppelganger announced by Treasury in March.

Recap of events on Twitter:
1. Discredit sound research into malign influence under the guise of exposing misdeeds.
2. Get credible outlets to complain, instead of state-affiliated ones, by labeling them, thus making labels look problematic.
3. Remove the labels because they bother people, and argue there's no threat given the debunked research.

We must not grow complacent and ignore the predictable anti-vaccine moves following any death. While the debunking seems repetitive, repetition makes vaccine-hesitant parents more likely to become opposed.
Claims don't have to be rooted in facts to influence. The best thing we can do is challenge false claims swiftly while showing dishonest influencers' tactics.
Please don't stay silent. We face a movement that is funded by profiteers and private interests concerned with one thing: money. We can show that.
Don't allow people to claim that honest public health workers are questionable because they have jobs. That's not a coherent argument, and further, it is anti-vaccine groups that are unethically profiting. It's time to shine a light on that.
Case in point: the "died suddenly" mockumentary had nearly a dozen promotional links beneath it during its "premiere." How many ethical researchers do you know that do that?
Do not stay silent when people claim money is why we speak the truth. Tie the messengers to the money flowing from a handful of people, and learn from what is happening in Ukraine.
We see Russia accusing Ukraine of what Russia is doing. So, too, do anti-vaccine profiteers accuse public health workers of what they do: profiting from parental concern.

Ok, I'm shutting off my cross poster due to popular demand (or complaint, rather)!
I was posting a few weeks ago over here, and it was just me, so I decided to cross-post. I'll try posting again to Mastodon.
So, what's the interesting stuff to tell you today? I'll do a thread.
