Thank you for shining a light on Christiane Northrup’s COVID-19 vaccine disinformation (May 2).

Personally, I find Northrup’s gruesome conspiracy theories disturbing. It’s my sincere hope Mainers won’t be led astray by her unhinged anti-vaccine rhetoric, seemingly borrowed from science fiction and horror.

The deranged nightmare world Northrup claims to exist is simply not real. Quite the opposite: COVID-19 vaccines are our ticket back to a healthy, normal life. I am so grateful for that.

Please continue your thoughtful science reporting. Whether it’s Northrup or even a member of the Maine Legislature, prominent anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists should be held accountable by our local journalists. Keep shining that exposing light on our behalf. Thank you.
