      Google "Homeopaths Without Borders." You have no idea of the scope of this sort of thing. 1/ https://www.hwbna.org https://twitter.com/CaulfieldTim/status/1099340316715307009 …

      Sending homeopathy as "aid" is a good example of the adverse consequences of our tolerance & support for alternative/holistic/integrative med. We wouldn't seriously consider sending magic wands to help them build bridges. But homeopathy ok? cc @DrPChouinard @DrJenGunter @gorskon

      I first learned of Homeopaths Without Borders none years ago, when they descended on Haiti after the earthquake. 2/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2010/02/25/the-invasion-of-well-intentioned-but-use/ …

      Homeopaths Without Borders arrived around the same time as Scientologists did. It's a thing, quacks heading to disaster to y their quackery in a well-meaning but ar best useless and at worst harmful effort to "help." 3/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2010/01/26/bringing-woo-to-disaster-areas/ …

      Homeopaths Without Borders is also known for doing bogus and unethical studies in Third World countries, such as a "study" of homeopathy for AIDS. I kid you not. Homeopathy for AIDS. 4/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2010/01/19/studying-homeopathy-in-third-world-count/ …

      As you might expect, the end result of the intervention of Homeopaths Without Borders on the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake was a big fat nothingburger. 5/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2011/07/06/homeopathy-in-haiti-a-year-and-a-half-la/ …

      Other homeopaths have traveled to West Africa during outbreaks of Ebola with the intent to—unbelievably—treat Ebola work homeopathy. 6/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2014/10/29/here-they-come-to-save-the-day-homeopaths-vs-ebola-again/ …

      It got so bad that @WHO and the Liberian had to put a stop to it, which enraged the homeopaths. 7/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2014/11/20/the-invasion-of-well-meaning-quacks-into-west-africa-continues-apace/ …

      Again, it's not just homeopaths. Quacks of all types seem to do it, bringing into disaster areas exactly what they don't need: Magical thinking and quackery. For instance, there's Acupuncturists Without Borders. 8/http://www.acuwithoutborders.org

          Somehow these quack groups often manage to fool government agencies and legitimate charities into supporting them. It's horrible. 10/10
