      David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Children's Health Defense

      Here, @RobertKennedyJr defends @mercola against reporting by @bylenasun in @washingtonpost. I wonder if RFK, Jr. knows just how big a quack it is that he’s defending. Let’s educate him. 1/https://twitter.com/ChildrensHD/status/1209536548242370560 …

      RFK, Jr.: "Sun’s function at Washington Post is blindly defending vaccines and defaming all who challenge the Pharmaceutical Paradigm. Because her editors anoint Sun with absolution from fact checking, her hatchet jobs are parades of reckless invention." https://childrenshealthdefense.org/news/lena-suns-function-at-washington-post-blindly-defend-vaccines/ …

      Does @RobertKennedyJr know that @mercola touted Italian cancer quack Tullio Simoncini? This is a quack who claims all cancer is a fungus and is to be treated with baking soda. 2/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2008/08/07/a-fungus-among-us-in-oncology/ …

      Indeed, does @RobertKennedyJr know that @mercola’s been promoting all manner of quackery for over two decades now? 4/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2012/08/03/15-years-of-promoting-quackery/ …

      I also wonder if @RobertKennedyJr know that @mercola’s girlfriend @unhealthytruth has concocted a ridiculous conspiracy theory in which “natural health” practitioners are being murdered by The Man (or pharma hit squads or whomever). 5/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/07/25/pharma-hit-squads-vs-holistic-healers-the-resurrection/ …

      The conspiracy mongering on @unhealthytruth’s part, aided and abetted by @mercola, is truly amazing to behold. We’re talking Pizzagate-level wackiness, maybe even QAnon-level. 6/https://www.healthnutnews.com/category/holistic-doctor-deaths/ …

      Of course, conspiracy theories aside, @mercola is very antivaccine, just like @RobertKennedyJr; so I guess all the quackery he also promotes doesn’t matter to RFK, Jr. 7/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/natural-health-and-the-antivaccine-movement-the-case-of-dr-joseph-mercola/ …

          Not surprisingly, @mercola is also not a very nice person, just like @RobertKennedyJr. Here he is, fat shaming @DrRachie because he was losing to her in the Shorty Awards several years back. 8/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2010/01/25/stay-classy-dr-joe-stay-classy/ …

          Still, it is interesting to not just how far @RobertKennedyJr has fallen from his environmental activism days. He’s now all in with all manner of antivax quacks, including one like @mercola, who promotes dangerous quackery, like claiming that cancer is a fungus.🤦🏻‍♂️ 9/9

          Forget about all of this back and forth Mumbo Jumbo! Here is a real question. Do you feel this device mentioned in Scientific American is necessary? Who determines the need for such a device?https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/invisible-ink-could-reveal-whether-kids-have-been-vaccinated/ …

          In today's lexicon, "anti-vaccine" covers a wide swath of the population. It's what pharma calls people that don't trust pharma --which is most people. It might shock a communist like you but a large number of people believe they own themselves. That makes them anti-vaxxers

          How dare you misinform intentionally as you do... you OBVIOUSLY have not read any of their articles to have such a deformed concept of who they are and what those meant. You ARE IRRESPONSIBLY using your professional stature to disparage & discredit innocent people. Just STOP! 🛑

          You purposefully LIE about them being against vaccination - PROOF you are talking out of left field for your own sensationalism because any VIDEO will evidence from their own mouths that they are not against vaccines but FOR SAFE vaccines!! JFKJR work has all been about SAFETY.
