I don't know what happened to him, but Gøtzsche has been drifting into crank territory for quite some time now, to the point where @cochranecollab has had to issue statements saying it doesn't agree with his position on, for example, psychiatric drugs. 2/https://www.bmj.com/content/351/bmj.h5073 …

Of late, on psychiatry, Gøtzsche has been sounding as though he's become a scientologist, and on the topic of the HPV vaccine he's been sounding more and more antivax. 3/https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/cochrane-hpv-vaccine-systematic-review-criticism/ …

Four members of
@cochranecollab board resigned in solidarity because they couldn't defend the board's decision as board members are expected to do. They state that they value "plurality of opinions, views, and perspectives," but Gøtzsche is now pretty far out there. 4/1 reply 9 retweets 7 likesShow this thread -
In any event, it saddens me. Gøtzsche used to be such a pillar of the evidence-based medicine community. He still runs @CochraneNordic, which makes me wonder if

Replying to @gorskon @cochranecollab
Agree with this. Myself and
@Rosewind2007 wrote about some of Gotzsche's bizarre antivax tendencies last year - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41541-017-0004-x … He has since presented at anti-vax conferences, among the rest of the anti-Cochrane activities. All very strange, but there you go.3 replies 7 retweets 7 likes -
I was unaware that Gøtzsche had presented at anti-vax conferences, or I certainly would have blogged about it. Got any links?

I'll try and dig it out, although
@Rosewind2007 will have it to hand. Gotzsche gave a video conference talk, about the EMA complaint, failing to mention the complaint had been rejected even though the talk took place after the rejection.1 reply 4 retweets 0 likes -
Mike, it might be worth you posting the link to the IFICA video, too. Just in case

Bloody hell No one is muted. I was doing something else and away from my phone. Geez, I don't spend every waking minute on Twitter. Sometimes I even spend several hours away!

You may yet...I do go on. I watched/listened to the whole video. He actually only mentions the Ombudsman complaint right at the start. And fails to actually mention she found no evdince of maladministration. As for the conference:https://mobile.twitter.com/Rosewind2007/status/1036692457512157184 …
