Oh, and at that time

But
@AAPSonline is a true example of crank magnetism (hat tip to@MarkHoofnagle). Not only does it embrace pseudoscience, antivaccine nonsense, and quackery, but it claims that Medicare and Medicaid are unconstitutional, while rejecting evidence-based guidelines. 16/Show this thread -
Dr. Eck says
@AAPSonline is against the "corporatization" of medicine, but at the same time advocates a position claiming that the free market will fix what ails medicine. Inconsistent, much? 17/Show this thread -
All of this is why I don't think it unreasonable to conclude that
@AAPSonline is wrong about almost everything. 18/18Show this thread -
Crap! I forgot to mention that
@AAPSonline has promoted HIV/AIDS denialism! 18a/18https://twitter.com/markhoofnagle/status/1121412528834322432 …Show this thread
