      Ivan clearly doesn't understand the various shades of antivaccine.

      Well, in which one you think Dr. Gotzche is? Because for the moment, I see no reason to believe that he is anti-vaccine. What I see, is just that in order to fight anti-vaccines, you are being intolerant to criticism, and that is a huge mistake, because without criticism...

      vaccines can't improve. Because the only way to improve is if you understand the problems that vaccines have, in order to give patients a better treatment

      Antivaccine people don’t improve vaccines, because their criticism isn’t fact based. When he supports them, he’s improving nothing. He is just helping them mislead people into not protecting their children.

      Again, if you support him, do him a favor and warn him when he’s making a mistake and doing something harmful. Blind admiration isn’t being a friend.

      Look, I don't support him at all. I just say, that prosecuting is after the crime, and always fact based. Also, that was ad-hominem, you were claiming that because I admire him (which I do not), my point isn't valid. Please, leave the phalacies aside

      Fallacies. Phalacies sound terribly Freudian. No one is prosecuting anyone?

      What is that supposed to mean? Phalacies are just a thinking process that fails at some point. I don't care if it sounds Freudian, if something is a phalacy, I will point it out, since it's the best way to argue, with only fact-based arguments

      The word is fallacy. You are spelling it wrong. A phallus is a penis, usually an erect one. Hence the Freudian "joke". I have also pointed out that I am not using fallacious ad hom: so you are also wrong.

      Yup. EVERY antivaxer (with VERY few exceptions) denies being antivaccine. Even a leader of the antivaccine movement, RFK Jr., risibly claims that he's "fiercely pro-vaccine." Denials of being antivaccine mean nothing. Actions mean everything. Gøtzsche has made his declaration.

          Indeed. If someone says, "I'm not anti-vaccine..." it's a pretty clear indication that they actually are.https://mobile.twitter.com/Rosewind2007/status/1034088143711088640 …

          I've said this before, and I will say it again: If anyone says "I'm not anti-vaccination..." the only sensible response is: "Bet you are: pound to your penny." https://twitter.com/SeanDefoe/status/1034079895616450560 …
