    It was much easier to be funny about bad science when it was just being used to sell people blueberries and not killing thousands through misinformation

        Ha, true. I rather miss those days, if for no other reason than jokes are harder. Although the climate scientists might disagree that bad science was not killing millions before the pandemic...

        It was killing people but at least a little bit more slowly

        USD$50B in vitamin supplement annual sales couldn’t possibly be wrong.

        The big picture point is that supplements are not a big health problem. And compared to all the things that really destroy peoples health they aren’t really marketed at all. And you could include most pharmaceuticals in the health destroying category. https://mobile.twitter.com/PGtzsche1/status/1189437698328715265 …

        It's always been killing thousands, misinformation about various cancers, diabetes, every illness, real or imaginary. This is just super public

        It's been impossible to laugh at anti-vaxers for decades. The irrationally maniacal just have never been funny; their tragedy has been a long, slow catastrophe pulling us all down together. And here we are, all bozos on the same bus.
