OHIO-BASED doctor, Nicole Baldwin, has become a viral sensation after posting an immunisation-pushing dance video on TikTok.
Aiming to dispel myths propagated by the now discredited Dr Andrew Wakefield, linking vaccinations to autism, the video shows Baldwin dancing to the song Cupid Shuffle, with the doctor pointing to the words "vaccines prevent: measles, polio, pertussis, hepatitis, influenza, HPV, meningitis, mumps", as they appear around her, before pointing out that "vaccines don't cause autism".
Despite years of training and mountains of clinical evidence supporting the use of vaccinations, anti-vaxxers have labelled Baldwin, "uneducated".
Responding to the video, those devoted to misinformation have slammed the video on social media, with one Twitter user claiming, "vaccines destroy every ones life (sic - yeah, they separated everyone into two words, and failed to use an apostrophe), one day you will answer to a higher power for being wilfully ignorant (oh the irony) and advocating on the wrong side of history".
Another simply told the paediatrician, who spent four years in college, four years in med school and three years of paediatric residency, along with 13 years of continuing professional development to "educate yourself woman".
Well at least they're classy!
