    Antivaxxers and cranks crave “live debate” with real experts because it gives the appearance that they’re somewhere near being on the same plane as the expert, thus falsely elevating them, and they can Gish gallop to their heart’s content.https://twitter.com/ShortyHBD/status/1215166196619841536 …

        No, contrary to what antivaxxers and cranks think, all truth does not come from public debate.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2013/04/26/all-truth-comes-from-public-debate-a-corollary-to-crank-magnetism/ …

        Pretty sure that I could disprove both quantum mechanics and general relativity in a public debate, as long as we kept the debate heavy on grandiose rhetoric and light on things like maths and facts..

        There are medical professionals, pharmacists, nurses, doctors, toxicologists and scientists on both sides of the debate. What harm could come of a debate? Perhaps the pro-informed consent side does have a point?

        Analytics. I use screenshots when quoting people. Added bonus is the picture lasts even if the tweet is deleted.

        I think more effort has to be put towards combatting their misrepresentation of modern journals, (well those from the mid 2000s at least) which they try screen cap parts of to try back their arguments up. That’s how they hook people onto their BS.

        Explain this obvious collusion and fraud; and while you are at it how much are you getting out of it? It’s not anti-vaxxing which is a term to detract from truth it’s quacks now like you that somehow managed to obtain a license colluding with pharmapic.twitter.com/As6u5gKIUw

        I think this is called confirmation bias with a lashing of dunning Kruger.
