The researchers reviewed more than 250 tweets about vaccination from accounts linked to the St Petersburg-based Internet Research Agency (IRA). In February the agency was named in a US indictment over alleged election meddling.
The IRA tweets used polarising language and linked vaccination to controversial statements about race, class and government legitimacy, the researchers said. One tweet casting doubt on vaccines that was cited in the study read: "Did you know there was secret government database of #Vaccine-damaged child? #VaccinateUS".
Another that argued for vaccinations said: "#VaccinateUS You can't fix stupidity. Let them die from measles, and I'm for #vaccination!"
Meanwhile less sophisticated "content polluters" - bot accounts that distribute malware, unsolicited commercial content and disruptive materials - shared anti-vaccination messages much more frequently than average Twitter users, using them as "bait" to get people to click on links to malicious websites.

This is a great example of how the Russians are helping Donald Trump unfairly beat the Democrats.
The pharma industry is totally run by people who would happily have some poorly-tested, toxic junk shot up into countless infants, in order to make an extra buck.
If anti-vaccine messages have an impact, the industry’s total lack of trustworthiness, along with the same condition in those whose job it is to hold them to account, are the primary reason why.
I think I figured out what they are really up to.
They are trying to get the free exchange of ideas on the internet shut down.
Russia trolls ‘spreading vaccination misinformation’ to create discord
I think someone needs to explain the difference between what the Russians are accused of and what the mass media is doing right here in this country. Isn’t the mass media selling the same crap as the Russians?
I see the mass media of this country spewing as much bull plop as I see from the so-called Russian “interference”.
And to make another point. Just how many votes have been changed by Russian “interference” as opposed by the outright lies from the mass media, DNC and the Mueller team.
So when is the FBI going to raid St. Petersburg?
If they wanted to stir up controversy in America, they'd have better luck with tweets about Kim Kardashian's butt. People might actually pay attention to that.
“Hacking an election” used to mean a computer hacker somehow altering the vote totals. Now it means there are trolls and malware on the internet including some from Russia.
Ben,
That is exactly what I was thinking when I heard that.
Marginalize non-MSM sources of dissenting critical thinking views.
I expect there are some very damaging vaccine safety studies coming out in the near future that Big Pharma wants to nullify by advance spincasting the message “all unfavorable stories about vaccine safety are Russian propaganda.”
Facts: the US gov’t Vaccine Injury fund has spent 3.5 Billion to compensate thousands of vaccine injury victims.
The US Childhood vaccine schedule is the world’s most aggressive protocol.
Trump stated similarly thoughts two years ago when asked about this topic.
What about the Russian trolls on this very site? Free Republic. That is more annoying.
And here is Lauren Southern, the supposed spokesman for white South African farmers, posing with a Stalin portrait (after several favorable mentions of him on her pages regarding WWII and whatnot) and with the deluded, maniacal, Aleksandr Dugin - upon her visit to Russia.
Here's a screen shot of the 1st page of my search.
A well known US IT Artificial Intelligence firm did a study and report that came up with an erroneous conclusion about Flu vaccinations.
Were they possibly part of the vast Russian conspiracy?
They did that study under Obama’s umbrella. So does the vast Russian conspiracy go all the way back to 2014? or 2010? or 2000? or 1994?
Was Hillary mis-informed on the nexus of the vast conspiracy?
If your child is hurt by a drunk driver, sue him.
If your child is hurt by a vaccine shot, screw you.
Big Vaccine has legal immunity.
Big Vaccine can put bird turd, mandatory inject your child, and screw you.
You have better protect with drunk drivers than vaccines.
Now you dislike Lauren Southern? She produced the “Farmlands” documentary about the South African farmer genocide. Russia was offering South African farmers the right ti immigrate there to move there to escape the black genocide, so it’s not a big surprise to have a picture of her there. You sure same to take the state department globalist line on everything.
Seems like you may be sock puppet
And I have pictures of your hero, and Hillary interacting with the most vicious people in the Middle East, Chinese communists, EU fascist leadership, Etc. She and Brittany Pettibone went on a trip to Russia and interviewed all kinds of people, you’re playing games. How about a complete list of who All She interviewed when she was there. Her number one goal and stopping the genocide of white culture, in South Africa, in the UK for she is banned, in Europe, in Australia. It’s kind of odd that she would be one of your biggest targets.
Russians + Big Pharma........It doesn’t get any worse than that......... /s
Vaccines are evil, and even for some uses the issue is the way the industry has twisted them into an assumed “safe” practice...
Here is one to start your journey, where did the AIDS virus come from?
SIV, Simian ImmunoVirus - They used the blood of monkeys to grow polio vaccines and then switched the Chimps out with other types and the rest is a very interesting case

Lots of links, I have spoken to many in the industry and this is no secret, you just do not mention it or things “happen”
Putin and the Soviet holdovers in the Kremlin trained the very South African radicals holding power today. Putin is set to make nuclear deals with the current South African president. And now for kicks: Putin is redistributing STOLEN Crimean land to thousands of white farmers. Bolshevik to the end, no different from the radical blacks he and his ilk trained.
I hope Lauren Southern reads her comments because even some of her devoted fans found her Stalin comments questionable and note that Dugin is a sociopath.
Honestly I don’t know much about, but it’s a shame she doesn’t unpack the history of South Africa’s leftist leaders who run the show...many have beene funded and trained by Russians. And Putin continues to promote regimes all over Africa from Sudan to Central African Republic. Actual collusion.
Don’t know much about her* other than the Farmlands thing and her favorable opinions of Putin.
This. Good post.
Geez. Everything the control-leftists hate comes from Russians whispering into our ears.
We aren’t as stupid as the idiots who believe the utter hypocrisies the left poops out daily on their media.
