A good moment for people and organisations to abandon their presence on Twitter/X and stop supporting Elon Musk's hate platform was four years ago. The second best moment was two years ago. And then last year. A few months ago: late but still OK. Definitely now. There's no excuse left to stay.

No one has done more damage to public health and trust in science and medicine than Andrew Wakefield. 26 years after his wrong and fraudulent paper people are still spouting his nonsense about an alleged link between vaccines and autism. The study was debunked countless times. There is no link.
