A question for science Twitter. @PGtzsche1 agreed to speak at an antivaccine conference organized by @picphysicians. His rationale, in part, was that he could change minds about MMR there. Should a science advocate EVER speak at an antivaccine conference?https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/peter-gotzsche-and-antivaxers-should-a-science-advocate-ever-speak-at-an-antivaccine-conference/ …

SciCom rule- know your audience. Never say never, but the likelihood that he would change any minds through a presentation at such an event is homeopathically small

I'd also point out that the organizers told me they're still hoping he'll attend and he is still listed on the webpage as attending: https://physiciansforinformedconsent.org/workshop/ pic.twitter.com/2IRYHsbbco
