Ah, yes. This is why I laugh when a member of @AAPSonline claims that the organization is not antivax. One wonders if the complain as loudly about government attempts to limit what doctors can say to patients and study about gun violence.https://twitter.com/jorient/status/1106278606592892928 …

Are you pro censorship? With yourself as Grand Inquisitor?

If there were organizations that promoted smoking as healthy online, do you think the AMA would and should urge social media to suppress that information? Both vaccine preventable infectious diseases and smoking are public health threats. Would that be pro-censorship?

The AMA did advertise cigarettes at one time despite suspicion of harm. Unsafe vaccines may be more of a public health threat than the diseases they are intended to prevent. Another AMA coverup to protect its commercial interests?

The association this woman heads up published articles saying that HIV does not cause AIDS, that being gay reduces life expectancy, that there's a link between abortion and breast cancer, & that there was a dramatic increase in leprosy (there wasn't) due to immigrants. Just mute.

I've also learned that St. Orient signed the "doctors' dissent from Darwinism" letter. Also, she denies climate science and even the very concept of a scientific consensus.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/hostility-towards-scientific-consensus-a-red-flag-identifying-a-crank-or-quack/ …

Consensus is the enemy of science. Particularly a fake consensus, What about the consensus on Ptolemy, or spontaneous generation, or bad air as the cause of malaria, etc.

So if someone was to say bad air was the cause of malaria, how would you refute them- perhaps by appealing to the scientific consensus on germ theory?

It was a big fight to get people to look at the evidence that was contrary to the consensus of the time. Just like people today have religious dedication to the holy CDC vaccine schedule--any harm is a "coincidence."

So you just appealed to "evidence" to claim bad air is the cause of malaria. Then you disparage "evidence" that vaccines are safe. Seems like you want to have it both ways.

She also engaged in a bit of projection by portraying the CDC's recommended vaccine schedule as a religion. That, too, is something antivaxers frequently do.

Something tells me she’d also reject the vaccine schedule for 99% of the rest of the world too.
