      This was a remarkable thread - the last time I had an argument like this, it was with a Holocaust-denying anti-vaccine advocatehttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1432166323002363915 …

      Lol mate, you spent quite a bit of time making a screed about me but you actually don't have a single scientific argument. My suggestion would be that if you are interested in whether ivermectin works or not that would be something to start looking into 👍

      I genuinely wonder at someone who would spend the time to try and dunk on me in a multi-tweet thread but not to actually engage with the scientific evidence of their positionhttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1431828103416877058?s=20 …

      Fascinating stuff, a whole thread of people saying weird shit about me (and a poem that I've said many times was idiotic in hindsight) https://twitter.com/alexandrosM/status/1431607634075938823 …

          To be clear - I'm not accusing @alexandrosM of Holocaust denial etc, merely that this was the closest experience I've had to that bizarre thread

          Nobody in the anti-vax/pro-ivermectin camp has scientific, evidence-based rebuttals to our skepticism and critiques besides "There are lots of trials showing benefit" and "You're wrong" Eric Osgood's position is that there may be benefit and rare harms; at least that's honest.

          I would love to read this but Alex blocked me a long time ago for saying it was awfully convenient for him to suddenly get too busy to continue a thread he started after he was shown to be wrong.

          You present yourself as some sort of expert, yet the views you promote on Twitter seem to often match the consensus opinions of experts. Highly suspicious!
