Hilariously, David is unknowingly supporting @AnnMarieNavar's comparison. Antivaxers frequently go straight for the pharma shill gambit, and his first go-to move is to invoke the pharma shill gambit rather than addressing substance—very much like an antivaxer.

Replying to @gorskon @AnnMarieNavar
David - You found it amusing I pointed out she's paid by 9 drug companies. Not unreasonable to ask why she points only to a web site as the source of statin adverse effects. Here's substance: my comment/review has 60 pubs on statin effects she ignored:https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0205138 …

Antivaxers say the same thing about
@DrPaulOffit and@PeterHotez. And, yes, when the pharma shill gambit is your FIRST move, that's just like an antivaxer. No one's saying COIs don't matter, but your choice to use an ad hominem first before addressing evidence is not a good look.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

In fact, it's a look I've seen many times before from antivaxers, cancer quacks, etc., etc.

Actually, the pharma shill gambit is an ad hominem fallacy, which is a subcategory of the logical fallacy of poisoning the well. Not a good look as your first move.

I'm sorry my 1st 280 characters were such a disappointment to you. If you had made the slightest effort to look beyond the 1st tweet, you would've seen the extensive follow-up discussion including my opinion of Navar having "inattentional blindness" toward statin adverse events.

I don't think you want to go there. Accusing pro-vaccine doctors of ignoring vaccine "injury" and side effects is EXACTLY what antivaxers do, just as you accused @AnnMarieNavar of doing for statins. You really are not helping your case at all.
