One of the most disgusting things that Adams routinely does is to pounce on news of any celebrity who dies of cancer and rant about how, if only that celebrity had embraced "natural treatments," he/she would still be alive; i.e., Patrick Swayze. 11/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2009/09/16/a-religious-loon-cant-even-wait-until-he/ …

Another thing Adams did was to try to blame glyphosate for the death of celebrities of cancer. For example, here he jumped on the death of Joe Biden's son Beau of a brain tumor and blamed it on glyphosate and —of course—GMOs. Oh, and chemotherapy too! 15/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/06/02/why-i-despise-mike-adams-blaming-beau-bidens-cancer-on-chemotherapy-and-glyphosate/ …

Another favorite despicable trope of Adams' is to blame mass shootings on psychiatric medications, as he did with the Sandy Hook massacre. 16/ https://respectfulinsolence.com/2012/12/21/cry-the-antivaxers-and-quacks-twas-big-pharma-that-led-adam-lanza-to-kill/ …

Meanwhile, Adams has deluded himself into thinking he's a real scientist on order to insert himself into tragedies like the Flint water crisis. It would be more risible were it not for the potential for harm. 17/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2016/02/18/exactly-what-flint-doesnt-need-mike-adams-and-his-secondhand-mass-spectrometer/ …

Another Mike Adams special was his "Monsanto Collaborators" list, a list of science advocates who had spoken out to defend GMO science who, he implied, should be killed. This one earned him a visit from the FBI, and he quickly backtracked. 18/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2014/07/25/how-they-view-us-mike-adams-and-kent-heckenlively-edition/ …

Basically, Mike Adams is, IMHO, one of the most prominent and influential scammers in alternative medicine today. 19/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/02/26/true-believers-and-scammers-in-alternative-medicine/ …

Adams is also one of the people most responsible, after Alex Jones and his ilk, for weaponizing bullshit to attack critics and science itself. 20/20https://respectfulinsolence.com/2016/12/30/2016-the-year-bullshit-was-weaponized/ …

David, you give him too much credit. He’s an oldstyle huxter who has little real talent. We just need to shine more light on them. Obviously it’s been profitable. We need to find who pays, and shine some on them as well.
