      David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Senator Jeff Merkley

      I bet our President fell for a protester jokingly wondering where her Soros check is, the way antivaxers and quacks sometimes don't get the joke when I quip, "Where's my filthy lucre, big pharma paymasters?" That's why these days I usually add a crack about Lizard Overlords too.https://twitter.com/SenJeffMerkley/status/1049681442731642882 …

      no, he's using the antisemitic meme because he's fine with antisemitism.

      Antivax and quackery not infrequently overlap with antisemitic conspiracy theories. In the minds of a lot of antivaxers, who do you think runs big pharma?

      A lot of antisemitic theoritizing has been based in quite orthodox science.

      Irrelevant to my point, and I never said that it didn't. If also doesn't change the fact that Trump supporters are prone to multiple conspiracy theories, including antisemitic ones and antivax ones.

      Replying to @gorskon

      I think that's true. There's also a way in which Trump supporters line up with quite establishment ways of thinking. There are Trumpers in our medical centers and our laboratories. Trumpism iow does not imply antiscientism.

      Working in a medical center or lab does NOT mean one isn't antiscience with respect to something. There are an unfortunately high number of antivaccine nurses and creationist doctors. There are a lot of climate science denialists there. That's antiscience.

      Scratch a Trumpist, and you'll almost always find antiscience of some sort, be it climate science denial, creationism, antivax, or other conspiracy theory.

          The problem with equating anti-scientism and Trumpism, is that Trumpism is motivated by ideologies which have *also* motivated much science.

          Oh bloody hell. I said they frequently overlap. And they do.
