I'm not even counting other
@AAPSonline pseudoscience, like denying the conclusions of climate science that the earth is warming due to CO2 caused by human activity. 10/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/hostility-towards-scientific-consensus-a-red-flag-identifying-a-crank-or-quack/ …1 reply 0 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -

But
@AAPSonline is a true example of crank magnetism (hat tip to@MarkHoofnagle).
