Schiff Vitamins (parent company Reckitt Benckiser) peddles both Neuriva and Airborne. Dr. Harriet Hall evaluated Schiff's claims about Neuriva: We have no way of knowing if it is safe and effective. My guess is probably not.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/neuriva-clinically-proven/ …

Despite her neuroscience PhD, Mayim Bialik is a long time pseudoscience advocate. After her endorsement of an anti-vax snake oil salesman and craniosacral/reiki practitioner was disputed, she replied, "Guess I like snake oil!"pic.twitter.com/GIhXeDjsDy

Craniosacral therapy is a silly system of diagnosis and treatment based on false beliefs about the human brain. Shockingly, her neuroscience PhD did not stop Mayim Bialik from proclaiming her love for craniosacral therapyhttps://quackwatch.org/related/cranial/ …

Everyone was disappointed when Mayim Bialik used her platform to spread medical misinformation. And she wrote in her book "We made an informed decision not to vaccinate our children." It was definitely not an informed decision.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2012/02/21/say-it-aint-so-amy-farrah-fowler/ …

When confronted about her anti-vax claims Mayim Bialik said she wasn’t anti-vaccine (much like Jenny McCarthy and others say) and said her kids were vaccinated. Since she promoted false concerns about the vaccine schedule, she presumably caught the kids up.pic.twitter.com/iaPBY4OgLN

Last year, Mayim Bialik took a big step: she endorsed the COVID and flu vaccines. But she also admitted that her kids had never received a flu vaccine, contradicting her earlier statement. And she gaslighted those who correctly identified her as anti-vax. https://youtu.be/ov_Jw02uHGY pic.twitter.com/s6oPxrAqiI

Mayim Bialik said she wasn’t anti-vaccine but also repeated anti-vax tropes. She said allergies are exacerbated by vaccine ingredients, said she felt there were too many vaccines, and questioned the HepB vaccine. She promoted fear of vaccine ingredients to a large audience:pic.twitter.com/8humhA31Cj

Worst of all, Mayim Bialik listed RFK Jr’s anti-vax group (with the Orwellian name Children’s Heath Defense) as her top resource on vaccines:pic.twitter.com/lj4rNaR9j7

So yes, it’s nice to see that Mayim Bialik moved on the anti-vaccine spectrum from refusing to vaccinate to mostly vaccinating to endorsing two vital vaccines while being hesitant and repeating anti-vax tropes.

But Mayim Bialik is a celebrity with neuroscience PhD. People trust her. So repeating anti-vax tropes, endorsing RFK Jr, refusing to retract her anti-vax book, and selling shady “brain health” supplements can do real harm. It’s unacceptable.https://www.wired.com/2012/05/mayim-bialik-disappoints/ …

Update: Given that "brain health" supplement peddler and anti-vaxxer Mayim Bialik also did a bogus juice cleanse/detox and has promoted homeopathy, she meets all four of Dr. Jen Gunter's laws of the medical internet. https://www.kveller.com/mayim-bialik-here-goes-my-experiment-with-juicing/ …pic.twitter.com/5dE26vSQ4D
