      Can you honestly think of an "innocent" explanation? "He didn't know Physicians for Informed Consent were #antivaccine to the core?" "He had no idea who @doctorsensation is, or her position regarding vaccines!" "Robert F Kennedy? He's not #antivaxx is he?"

      Yup. RFK Jr. is hard core antivax. So is Mary Holland. Ditto Toni Bark. Rick Jaffe is a lawyer who specializes in representing quacks like @DrStanBurzynski. @picphysicians is a hard core antivax group disguised as a a group advocating "informed consent."

      If @PGtzsche1 was unaware of these facts before, he is no longer. Will be pull out of this antivax confab where he's agreed to appear? I predict no, because he's become antivax.

      And he’s giving a talk that, by its title, is designed to appeal to this antivaccine audience. Basically catering to them.

      Indeed. It's a talk that Mary Holland or RFK Jr. himself could give. Hell, Andrew Wakefield could give it. I know @PGtzsche1 hates being compared to Wakefield, but right now the shoe seems to fit.

      Sorry guys, I'll believe he is antivax when I hear or read him talking against vaccination. Talking amongst a group of antivax people isn't enough after everything he's done. I'll be eager to read/watch more about this. In the meantime my admiration for him remains put.

      Giving a talk on an antivaccine topic in an antivaccine event is a strange thing for someone who is not antivaccine. It’s touching that you trust him to the extent of ignoring it, but it’s also probably over trusting.

      I have noticed a rather cult-like air about @PGtzsche1's followers. So it doesn't surprise me that their motivated reasoning is strong enough too make excuses for his appearing with antivaxers at an antivax workshop organized by an antivax organization.

      Cult-like air? Funny that. Oh..and unnecesarily offensive for a professional conversation. I admire his brave stand and agree with him on many issues. No blindness or faith involved.

      Then maybe you should ask him directly why he's giving an anti-vaccine talk in an anti-vaccine event, and suggest it's not a good idea?

      An excellent suggestion.
