It has not missed my notice that targeting pseudoscience (an industry that overwhelmingly targets women) makes certain men on twitter irritated. Women’s health is a waste of time to people like Vin 2.0 & co.https://twitter.com/ryarmst/status/1189609237074325504 …

Indeed. Also, as I've pointed out, if our Very Eminent Rising Star in Oncology thinks deconstructing alt med is easy, he's just showing his ignorance. You can't just say, “There's no evidence." There is evidence. A lot of it. And it's spun by quacks in a way that fools docs.
