They threaten, bully & harm for money and/or a spotlight, yet Anti-Vaxxer’s take no responsibility for their actions which lead to actual suffering and death.

Don’t feed the trolls! Sometimes it’s better to avoid interacting with anti-vaccine commenters online. Choose your battles wisely and ignore comments that are negative, harassing, or bullying.

In order to develop a high-performing social media account, it’s best to define your goals. And while many doctors use social media to connect with their current patients, there are a myriad of other reasons to post online.
What are *your* social media goals?

We studied tweets related to the
#DoctorsSpeakUp

Yep! Just as worrisome are the doctors and other health/science-base advocates who stay on the ‘social media sidelines’ for the fear of an attack.
