Hallwang is notorious for this sort of thing, charging desperate patients huge sums of money for a combination of conventional therapy, unproven experimental drugs, and alternative medicine. I first wrote about this 3 years ago. 2/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2016/11/08/the-deadly-false-hope-of-german-cancer-clinics/ …

I didn't hear anything after that for nearly four months. Then, out of the blue, Hallwang emailed me again on the Fourth of July. 13/pic.twitter.com/7o6d2wDJyA

I couldn't believe it. Had
@BBC actually caved to legal threats from what I considered a quack clinic? Was it true? Unfortunately it appears to be true. Here's the link to the original article. It now returns a 404 error. 14/ https://www.bbc.com/news/health-47442946 …Show this thread -
And here's the Wayback Machine version of the same link. As you can see, the reporting appears to have been quite solid. 15/https://web.archive.org/web/20190306123354/https://www.bbc.com/news/health-47442946 …

Because
@BBC cravenly caved, I had little choice but to take my post down too, at least temporarily. Basically, the BBC had left me and any others who had commented on its story out to dry, and having broken links on the blog is bad anyway. 16/pic.twitter.com/JdDg5eBssY

Why did
@BBC, sometime between March and now, delete the Tweet? It doesn't look good. It sure looks like the BBC caved, but I can't know for sure. 17/Show this thread -
I'm not the only one who was threatened by Hallwang for comnenting on the BBC story; so it seems likely that
@BBC surrendered to the legal thuggery of what I consider to be a quack clinic. For shame! 18/Show this thread -
