JPANDS? David "Black Helicopter" Ayoub? Ed Yazbak? Those are some serious antivaccine cranks in a seriously antiscience antivaccine fake medical journal! What lovely "authorities" you've cited, Dr. Orient! 1/https://twitter.com/jorient/status/1131185622050230272 …

Not surprisingly, alt-med hucksters like
@mercola eat Yazbak's pseudoscience right up. 6/https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/03/26/dr-yazbak-on-the-shaken-baby-case.aspx …Show this thread -
As for
@jorient, she herself has expressed belief in the past in the pseudoscientific claim that shaken baby syndrome doesn't exist and is in reality a misdiagnosis of vaccine injury. 7/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-antivaccine-lie-that-just-wont-die-shaken-baby-syndrome-is-really-due-to-vaccine-injury/ …Show this thread -
Indeed, Dr. Orient even wrote a sympathetic portrayal of baby killer Alan Yurko and published it in the
@AAPSonline official journal, JPANDS. 8/ http://www.jpands.org/vol10no2/orient.pdf …Show this thread -
In that article, Dr. Orient lays down some real nonsense: "One possible mechanism of a vaccine reaction is vitamin C depletion, which can occur in a variety of conditions including acute illness, strenuous exertion, or catabolic conditions..." 9/

"...Ascorbate depletion is accompanied by elevated blood histamine levels and increased capillary fragility.A vaccine reaction could be part of a multifactorial etiology of a syndrome mimicking abuse." Yes, she wrote that! 10/

I, of course, wrote about Alan Yurko long ago. 11/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2007/03/07/the-depths-to-which-antivaccination-loon/ …

Meanwhile,
@RatbagsDotCom followed the case in depth and how antivaxers tried to capitalize on it to free baby killers and promote the vile lie that shaken baby syndrome is a misdiagnosis for vaccine injury. 12/ https://ratbags.com/rsoles/comment/yurko1.htm …Show this thread -
I can't help but point out that
@AAPSonline is a crank organization disguised as a medical professional society. It's basically to the right of the John Birch Society and worships an Ayn Randian view of how medical practice should be. 13/Show this thread -
More importantly, besides antivaccine quackery,
@AAPSonline has promoted other medical pseudoscience, such as the claim that abortion causes breast cancer. 14/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/abortion-and-breast-cancer-the-manufactroversy-that-wont-die/ …Show this thread -
The leadership of
@AAPSonline also rejects the very concept of a scientific consensus on anything, including medical conclusions. Brave mavericks gonna brave maverick, no matter what. 15/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/hostility-towards-scientific-consensus-a-red-flag-identifying-a-crank-or-quack/ …Show this thread -
So it's not surprising that Dr. Orient would be posting antivaccine propaganda from the fake medical society
@AAPSonline. I was just amused that she picked the black helicopter maven and appalled that she'd cite the vile Dr. Yazbak for anything. 16/16Show this thread
