      I do so love to bask in the adulation of my fans. It particularly amuses me when they pull the old "Your science is a religion!" canard out of their nether regions. So unoriginal. 1/https://twitter.com/jorient/status/1101238659011928064 …

      The Gorskon aka Orac has spoken--the self-anointed Defender of the Faith ("Science"), Pope, High Priest, Grand Inquisitor pronounced anathema, so all you acolytes had best not read anything PIC writes lest you be tainted

      One notes, of course, that @jorient can't cite a single error of fact, science, or interpretation in my post. (Same as it ever was!) So she just starts calling me a high priest and pulls tries to project her views on my beliefs. 2/

      What do I mean by that. @jorient's antivaccine beliefs aren't based on science (like religion). So she projects that on me and tries to paint my beliefs about vaccines as based on religious faith, not science. 3/

          Of course, I documented quite well why I consider @picphysicians to be an antivax group, more specifically a group of antivax doctors disguised as "informed consent" advocates. 4/

          Let's just put it this way. If Paul Thomas is on your leadership committee, you're antivax. 5/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/03/09/dr-paul-thomas-newest-antivaccine-pediatrician-making-name-himself/ …

          I could go on, but if the executive director of @AAPSonline, @jorient, is on your leadership/advisory team, your organization is antivax. 9/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2016/12/22/the-crank-medical-organization-to-which-hhs-nominee-dr-tom-price-belongs-lays-down-a-heaping-helping-of-antivaccine-pseudoscience/ …
