      This is despicably clueless false balance, in which an antivaccine activist who is not a scientist is paired with a real physician and expert. @RobertKennedyJr is antivaccine, his risible claim to be provaccine notwithstanding. 1/https://twitter.com/Renee_Eng/status/1202633550022860800 …

      When it comes to #vaccines for children, Dr. Robert Riewerts with @KPSCALnews and @aboutKP says they are safe but @RobertKennedyJr, who says he is pro-vaccine, wants more robust testing. Full interview airs Sunday on #InFocusCA on @SpecNews1SoCal. pic.twitter.com/mer43SvMA8

      Replying to @gorskon @RobertKennedyJr

      Just realized this channel invited me on last summer for a "discuss the issues" hosted talk show segment to discuss politics & medicine intersections wrt vaccines. Felt bad I couldn't schedule it, but not so now. Wonder if this MD showed up to find he was paired w/RFK Jr. Ugh...

      This is why I now ALWAYS ask if anyone else will be on the show with me and, if so, who.

      Replying to @gorskon @RobertKennedyJr

      Yeah, I do as well and make it clear I will not debate anti-sci guests. Was informed it would just be me for segment last May, so maybe this was a later piece as anti-SB276 activism ramped up and was treated by some press as a heavily political issue vs. public health issue.

      No, an anti-science non-expert saying things that aren’t true on air isn’t peer review and isn’t how science works. Note the absence of the flat earth activist in segments on astronomy.

      Yup. And staged TV debates are a poor venue to argue a scientific question. In the world of TV punditry certitude wins, and cranks can distort and Gish gallop to their heart’s content.

          If you’re saying “wait, you mean experts great at science aren’t always great at theater, while a science denier who has to make his name on convincing people black and white is (and can make up untrue things on the spot),” often, yes. They’re not experts in theater. He is.

          There are tens of thousands of studies covering millions of children going back decades on #vaccines. From all around the world. As much as you want to imagine the data away, or doesn’t work like that.
