      David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Del Bigtree

      Tell ya what, Del. I’ll ask you what I’ve asked all the antivaxxers claiming that today. Please list for each “shocking statement”: 1. The name of the speaker 2. Title of the presentation or panel 3. Timestamp when the statement begins Time to put up or shut up. 1/https://twitter.com/delbigtree/status/1217372183929864194 …

      .@gorskon I’d actually prefer people watch the entire 2 day event found on this WHO website. The scientists’ statements are even more shocking when you get the full context. I only did a shorter edit for short attention span viewers like you David https://www.who.int/news-room/events/detail/2019/12/02/default-calendar/global-vaccine-safety-summit … https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1217368629186039809 …

      Given that @delbigtree or one of his flunkies sat through the whole Summit, presumably he already has this information. Presumably he has a list of these “shocking statements” and picked the ones he thought to be the “most shocking” for his 9 minute compilation. 2/

      Of course, if that’s what he did, then I highly doubt that anything he left off his “shocking highlights” video could be that bad because I’m sure he picked what he thought were the “most shocking” statements, and they weren’t that shocking at all! 3/

      Certainly none of the statements featured showed “@WHO scientists questioning vaccine safety,” his misrepresentation notwithstanding. So what’s left, in context, or out of context, is likely even less convincing as examples of “scientists questioning vaccine safety.” 4/

          Of course, @delbigtree knows this. He’s a master antivaccine propagandist. He knows how to cherry pick with the best of them. When called on it, he knows to point to the rest of the Summit and say there’s lots more that’s just as bad without giving examples. 5/

          He knows that going through the whole Summit would take more time than most people have, and his claim puts the burden on them to figure out what he means and what statements he’s talking about over 16 hours of video. 6/

          It’s an obvious technique, and I’ve seen it so many times before from so many antivaxxers, quacks, denialists, and cranks that I know it’s a distraction, a diversion from @delbigtree’s cherry picking. 7/

          I was, however, amused by @delbigtree’s statement that his 9 minute edit was “for short attention span viewers like you.” He obviously doesn’t think much of his audience. I’m also not so stupid as not to know that a short video is much more likely to go viral. 8/

          In any event, I predict that @delbigtree will bluster, bullshit, and obfuscate, and, above all, fail to provide me with this information for each “shocking statement”: 1. The name of the speaker 2. Title of the presentation or panel 3. Timestamp when the statement begins 9/

          Sorry, @delbigtree, I’m on to you. Your techniques of cherry picking, obfuscation, and Gish galloping do not impress me. I’ve seen them SO many times before from SO many antivaxxers over the last two decades I’ve been at this. You’re not even the best I’ve encountered.🙄 10/10
