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.1 reply 4 retweets 15 likes -
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.2 replies 2 retweets 11 likes -
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?

You are talking about an antivax talk before you hear it?? Ah, OK then. I am more keen to judge facts rather than imagination.

The topic is classic antivaccine. I expect you are science minded. Why do you defend this? At least ask. You could think highly about someone and still criticize some of their choices, but you’re actively defending this.

Motivated reasoning is a powerful force, sadly.
