    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted New York Times Opinion

    Bloody hell, @nytopinion? This article is riddled with misinformation, false equivalence, etc. I wonder if its authors know that antivaxxers use exactly the same arguments, including invoking sexism and misogyny in criticisms of their pseudoscience. Epic fail! 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️https://twitter.com/nytopinion/status/1224320397220483072 …

        And defending reiki based on a truly crappy systematic review? Reiki is nothing more than faith healing that substitutes Eastern mystical beliefs for Christian beliefs as its basis.🤦🏻‍♂️

        She just reused the shitty one she got published in ScientificAmerican that got pulled for being a hitpiece about Dr. Gunter. The message is the same.

        I couldn’t finish the article. Somehow if you fight pseudoscience you are now misogynistic. To be a woman is to be non scientific. I guess as a man, I cannot even comment.

        Cannot even get past the first paragraph. Spent my morning debating an antivaxxer on here & I've met my quota of idiocy and public health menances for the day.

        Can we get a systematic review (🤦🏼‍♀️) of the legit illnesses with delayed diagnosis/treatment because of attempts at sham quackery instead of real medical care? Can we get a Number Needed to Harm?

        What's so awful about seeking auto repair? I mean, my car's not broken, but some celebrity told me it would run better if I put a jade egg up the tail pipe. She's only asking $399 for it, so what's the problem? https://twitter.com/nytopinion/status/1224320397220483072 …

        THIS piece pointed out Goop just monetizes our fears and uses trigger words like vagina to get more $$ from people searching for answers. True modern day snake oil.
