      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

          Fungus? That's crazy. Everyone knows they're caused by acid food + drinks

          Wow, you’ve descended to character assassination. How about fact checking what they say? Maybe get Merck to sue Bobby over his statements?

          It’s like @Greenpeace and their campaigning against golden rice. Wish they’d stuck to whales and peace.

          Maybe it's the mercury levels in his blood that he used to talk about. Could he be as mad as a hatter?
