      Dr. Gorski has been blogging about pseudoscience since 2005. Providing extensive information and valuable tools. You’re not providing constructive feedback. You’re dismissing.

      That's a broad question, not easily answerable on Twitter. In the case of the antivaccine movement, the press no longer feels anywhere near as obligated to do "both sides" stories and antivax misinformation is increasingly deplatformed. Those are wins.

      Unfortunately, some antivaxers have stumbled onto the strategy of tying their message to conservative messages of opposition to regulation, parental rights, and freedom, which has resulted in significant swaths of @gop leaning antivaccine or pandering to antivaxers.

      Oh please. Surely you don't think you're the first one to have made this criticism? (Or maybe you do. Your ego certainly seems as though you might.)

      What I find so stunning is that your ego can’t see through the fact that you are trying to dictate what others must advocate or fight. Though we appear to be on the same side, what you are doing is fighting your allies, which is wholly counterproductive. Take a step back.

      It also never occurs to him that I might indeed have taken the feedback very seriously the first time I heard this particular critic, processed it, thought about it, did some reading to see the arguments being made, and ultimately the premise.

          I mean, it's fine if he disagrees with skeptics about this (he's wrong, of course 😏), but the underlying assumption that skeptics just reflexively reject this criticism unthinkingly is incorrect.

          His argument would make a lot more sense if there weren't non trivial percentages of people that don't vaccinate their children or think acupuncture is legitimate.

          You have just described what most people don't do.
