This is how much antivaxxers distort the truth - read Crick scientist @DavidLVBauer writing in the @guardian about how his words got hijacked to scare people off vaccines:

I'm proud and honoured to have worked alongside scientists like @briscoejames and medics to help vaccinate people in North London. It's been amazing to be part of the effort to tackle the pandemic.

[The Francis Crick Institute @TheCrick]

More than 350 people from the Crick and our partners have volunteered in our @uclh vaccination centre 💪💉📋

On the centre's last day, group leader @briscoejames reflects on his time as a vaccinator, and the stories (and arms) he'll remember. https://t.co/VcxfbbvRl8

@davidshukmanbbc What a loss to the BBC, David - but congratulations, too - life on the outside is exciting.

[The Francis Crick Institute @TheCrick]

Congratulations to our Board member Kate Bingham, who has been awarded a damehood in the Queen's Birthday Honours today in recognition of her work chairing the UK's vaccines taskforce 🥂https://t.co/eP4z4qAyVU

It was a pleasure to welcome Prime Minister @BorisJohnson to the @uclh vaccination centre at the Crick today. 💉

He met with our director Paul Nurse and COO @SamBarrell1, and received his second dose of #COVID19 vaccine from Crick and @uclcancer clinician scientist @jrm_black.

You can never start too young in engaging young people with science. Listen to this lovely podcast to hear the amazing work our education team does in local schools:

[The Francis Crick Institute @TheCrick]

🎧 Our education team normally meets every state school student in our borough every year. Clare Davy, who heads up the team, spoke to the @NatureCareers podcast about giving young people more opportunities to get involved with (and enjoy!) science. https://t.co/UTSv8r1TV0
