The latest big thing among all the hippest COVID-19 quacks and antivaxxers is nattokinase, which is claimed to bust clots and "detox" spike protein. respectfulinsolence.com/2023/02/25/nat…

Precisely. And they don’t seem to realize that they are using *exactly* the same arguments antivaxxers used to use about measles and pertussis vaccines with respect to portraying a vaccine-preventable disease as “natural” and virtually “harmless” and the vaccine more dangerous.

That anniversary snuck up on me. It's been 25 years since Andrew Wakeful published his atrocious case series that, along with thimerosal fear mongering by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. a few years later, formed the basis of the pre-pandemic antivax movement. metro.co.uk/2023/02/26/dis…

Dr. Stephenson hasn’t been paying attention, has he? Dismissing any form of evidence that isn’t an RCT is *exactly* what EBM fundamentalists do to claim that there’s no evidence that masks with or that children benefit from #covidvaccine boosters.

Retracted papers about #COVID19 are more highly cited than they should be, but not because they should not have been retracted; if anything, not enough bad papers are retracted. sciencebasedmedicine.org/retracted-pape… via @sciencebasedmed David Gorski, MD, PhD

Holy hell. I'm having flashbacks to antivax 2006!

The hallmark of a good parody account is that I wasn't quite sure whether this was a parody until I clicked on the handle and checked to see if it was a parody account or not.

I'm using a dormant and rarely (now) used account because my main one was blocked by Mr. Kirsch and I want him to see this: Dude, you were *never* blocked on my blog. Ever. Nor did I delete *any* attempt by you to comment on any of the posts I've written about you.

You've commented exactly once on my blog, and I let it publish after my antispam automoderation had held it up because you were a new commenter. Here's the link. respectfulinsolence.com/2023/06/14/ste…

While I'm at it, you might enjoy this post too. 😂 respectfulinsolence.com/2023/07/05/now…

Okay ScienceBasedMed Frank Han MD 🇺🇦Pediatric/ACHD/GUCH Cardiologist Imagining that the people correcting anti-vaccine misinformation are taking money from big Pharma to do it will not make anti-vaccine misinformation less wrong; just make you wrong on another thing. I hope you read the post.

Okay ScienceBasedMed Frank Han MD 🇺🇦Pediatric/ACHD/GUCH Cardiologist Again, wanting to imagine that the people correcting you are paid isn’t going to make you less wrong. We took this picture in a public street to make fun of antivaccine shill claims. Maybe we should have realized people who fall for antivaccine misinformation won’t get this.

Antivaxxer Steve Kirsch apparently wants to make like Dino and Luigi in a classic Monty Python sketch and threaten Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora with releasing protected health information from the stolen database that he has. respectfulinsolence.com/2023/12/20/rab…

Yesterday, I wrote about how Paul D. Thacker had dishonestly smeared Allison Neitzel as somehow "not a physician." In my post, I noted that Thacker was so sloppy that he seemed to think that I reside in Wisconsin when my state of residence is Michigan. respectfulinsolence.com/2024/04/04/hac…

Well, Paul D. Thacker is the conspiracy monger gift that keeps on giving. Today, I noticed that he had quietly altered the text to remove the error without mentioning that he was correcting an error. Here are the before-and-after screenshots.

An actual honest and ethical journalist would have added a note saying that he had altered the text to correct an error and explaining what the error had been. Of course, as a journalist Paul D. Thacker appears to be neither honest nor ethical.

OTOH, he has admitted one of his errors, grudgingly, as this screenshot shows. Amusingly, he is either oblivious that Allison Neitzel is obviously trolling him or intentionally ignoring the troll in order to feed his credulous readers a narrative that he's somehow "won."

Seriously, though, shame on The BMJ/BMJ Group for having published Paul D. Thacker's dishonest "journalism" on the Pfizer Inc. RCT of its #CovidVaccine. Former BMJ editor Fiona Godlee should be forever embarrassed for having published it./end respectfulinsolence.com/2021/11/15/wtf…
