The conclusion of a bit of a Twitter lecture in which I was repeatedly told I'm too nasty and sarcastic countering alt med and antivax misinformation and that that's nowhere near as worthwhile or difficult as what he does anyway.

What do I mean? Specifically, I shouldn't have kept pointing so vociferously that I do discuss and criticize conventional medical practices as well. It implied that I bought into his frame that doing that has more inherent. value than deconstructing alt med and antivax.

What I should have said is, "So what?" Countering the claims of quacks and antivaxers and resisting the infiltration of pseudoscience into conventional medicine are just as important as holding pharma to account and highlighting lack of evidence for some conventional treatments.
