I just got a new follower on the Other Place who is, apparently, a doctor opposing vaccines and masking. He also claims to be a doctor at least one recent tweet.

So tell me why I found his profile picture on a stock image site? 🤔

Don't believe everything you see on the World Wide Web, friends.

@atRachelGilmore he’s a liar. That’s the deal, just a liar. There’s a lot of them about unfortunately.

Unfortunately, I do know of 1 doctor IRL who is an anti-vaxxer. Even before covid he laid his hands on my broken ribs and tried to cast out my pain in the name of Jesus.
Then he proceeded to tell me how evolution and dinosaurs were a conspiracy.
I walked out and never went back.
I heard from a friend that he was advising people not to get vaxxed.
Horrifying
But this is Alberta where we allow things like this

@atRachelGilmore Not even smart enough to flip the image. I can guess what kind of advice he'll give.

@atRachelGilmore You take a break from your practice for five minutes to pose for a stock photo, and suddenly you're discredited forever...

🤣

@atRachelGilmore The slightly less imbecilic far-right trolls use AI generated avatar images. These can be somewhat difficult to discern as they're not stock images and won't show up in reverse image searches.

@atRachelGilmore They say the things they say hiding behind anonymity. If their identities weren’t hidden, at least some of them wouldn’t be so vile. There are some who creepily follow me just to try to get me to react so that they can cause further harm.
