    If anti-vaccine advocates ever start vehemently agreeing with me, I suspect I'll reassess my position because they tend to agree mostly with really unscientific and badly thought-out stuff

        In a similar vein, if I'm promoting a position heartily endorsed by Nazis, I'd be quite worried that I was going off the deep end

        (Obviously not trying to say anti-vaccine advocates are Nazis, just two situations I'd be worried about for similar reasons)

        What about anti-one-specific-vaccine advocates?

        Me too. The minute my stuff is getting vigorously retweeted and endorsed by the anti-vax folks, is the day I need to take serious stock of what I’m doing.

        I see the authors of the article had feelings on this tweet. I notice they largely ignore substantive criticism of their article. That will be hard to do as several lengthy rebuttals should be forthcoming soon.

        If say, I don't know Naomi Wolfe favorably retweeted me, I'd be absolutely horrified. I'd immediately reassess what I wrote.

        LMAO this happened to me awhile back, I immediately shit myself and reassessed what I wrote, but then she took the like and retweet away, so I felt a bit better.
