Noted Anti-vaxxer Dr. Naomi Wolf Tricked Into Sharing Fake Quote From Porn Actor Johnny Sins

Noted Anti-vaxxer Dr. Naomi Wolf Tricked Into Sharing Fake Quote From Porn Actor Johnny Sins

Dr. Naomi Wolf, a feminist author and former advisor to the Clinton administration and current prominent anti-vaccination voice on Twitter, had her fact-checking skills put to shame last weekend when she was tricked into sharing a fake quote from "Dr. John Sims," aka pornographic actor Johnny Sins.

The trick was pulled off by Intercept reporter and Twitter rascal Ken Klippenstein, who apparently DM'd Wolf with a photoshopped image of Sins, named "Dr. John Sims," playing a doctor in one of his films with an anti-vaccination quote, which Wolf then shared to her 108,000 followers. "If a vaccine is effective, then why do you need to pressure people to take it?" the quote read. "Informed consent means letting patients make their own choices."


Wolf deleted her tweet shortly after, but not before Klippenstein took a little victory lap on Twitter and the site collectively facepalmed.


This is not the first time Sins has been unintentionally involved in a viral hoax online. In 2013, Sins was the subject of a bizarre death hoax that was quickly shot down by himself and his colleagues.

Another humorous side effect of the ordeal is that author Naomi Klein who often finds herself yelled at by people thinking she's Naomi Wolf, told Klippenstein (who is coincidentally often confused with infamous Resistance tweeters the Krassenstein Brothers) that she had to change her Twitter bio to clarify she was not Wolf.


So tweeters, if you're interacting with a tweet from a blue-ticked Naomi on the site, remember this rhyme:
