I saved this CrowdTangle graph of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Instagram followers last week. Was looking at his reach since the pandemic as an example of how profitable covid-19 misinfo has been for anti-vaxxers on social. pic.twitter.com/KTz7sINxHC

He came out of Trump Tower during the 2016 transition and said he had discussed an anti-vaxx committee of some kind with Trump. Aides then walked that back. https://t.co/iPcZMpZ43N

Banning Robert F. Kennedy Jr. from Instagram should slow the spread of his dangerous lies and disinformation. Some publications politely call him an "anti-vaccine activist" but he's a conspiracy fantasist who knowingly incites threats against scientists 1/ https://t.co/gRhpVfef8D

The conspiracy theory started going viral about 11 months ago. Social media platforms didn't even try to crack down on it until late in the year -- & even then enforcement has been lacking. https://t.co/BIbIQvCSUQ
