Yazbak also writes drivel like this claiming that vaccines predispose to "shaken baby syndrome" and that what is diagnosed as shaken baby syndrome is often in reality vaccine injury because to him the syndrome doesn't exist. It's utter

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 …1 reply 0 retweets 1 likeShow 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/ …1 reply 0 retweets 3 likesShow 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 …1 reply 0 retweets 2 likesShow 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/

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 …1 reply 0 retweets 2 likesShow 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. 13/1 reply 0 retweets 3 likesShow 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/ …1 reply 0 retweets 2 likesShow 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/ …

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. 16/160 replies 0 retweets 2 likesShow this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
