Of course, during the height of the H1N1 pandemic nearly 10 years ago,
@TheAtlantic published a truly execrable article on Cochrane's Tom Jefferson, a man who takes methodolatry about the flu vaccine straight to the edge of antivax territory. 6/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2009/10/26/when-methodolatry-strikes-over-h1n1-influenza/ …Show this thread -
So,
@TheAtlantic and@TheAtlHealth have a decade-long history of a blind spot for pseudoscience and pseudomedicine. The H1N1 article in particular from 2009 led me to let my subscription lapse. 7/Show this thread -
If you're surprised that
@TheAtlantic is susceptible to bad science, pseudoscience, and even outright quackery, you just haven't been paying attention the last decade or so. It's not bad most of the time, but it's bad often enough—too often, actually. 8/8Show this thread
