      Replying to @MarkHoofnagle @AlokPatelMD @AHSM_org

      I was wondering the very same thing, but refrained from coming right out and asking for the simple reason that I was more interested in whether this org is truly serious about combatting online medical misinformation and knew what it was getting into.

      We're more than serious. It isn't about "being influencers", it's about building a platform for those who already are experts in the area and increasing the outreach. And not just fighting misinformation...we can help with advocacy, lobbying, etc

      OK, here's where I out-blunt Mark a little. How? "Building a platform" is so vague as to be nearly meaningless. I already have multiple platforms. What about yours will be so much better and effective?

      Replying to @gorskon @MarkHoofnagle @AHSM_org

      It's just a different approach. Can you share some of your platforms and/or any relevant Instagram/social handles? I suspect instead of competition, there's a great way to collaborate.

      Shouldn’t AHSM have done an environmental assessment? Already had a robust knowledge of who has been doing the work for years, for free?

      Wow, I hate to sound sycophantic to one or harsh to the other but if he doesn't know Gorski I doubt think that he did any relevant research at all. 😳

      It’s not at all sycophantic. Gorski, Novella, Gunter, Hickey, Offit, Swanson, and a number of other physicians have been opposing vaccine denial for years. As have people, like @EpiRen, in allied professions.

      Also simply because we didn't list out every advisor and contact, doesn't mean we haven't reached out to several. This was just one article about one angle of AHSM

      Yes, and it was an angle that REALLY rubbed several of us grizzled veterans of these very conflicts about pseudoscience (e.g., @MarkHoofnagle) the wrong way. The story made it sound as though Dr. Chiang and AHSM were going to swoop in and show everyone how it's done right.

      Let's just say that it's a bit...irritating when you've been at something for the last 20 years, and you see a news story about new people saying they want to do the same thing who come across in the story as marching in and showing everyone how it's supposed to be done.

      It's not that I'm ossified and not open to new things, but my first reaction to a story touting "drowning out medical misinformation with good information" is facepalm because we know that doesn't work very well at all.

          I can respect this because it's akin to me seeing a premedical student speaking about "physician burnout" - I'm like, stop, child. From the start, we built this with key healthcare issues in mind, about 5-7 pillars. Then we sought out folks in each arena to learn more.
