I'm not sure it's worth re-litigating all of that, but it does seem to me that when the authors ignore peer commentary and take to the Ingraham Angle to promote their problematic work, the calculus of decorum shifts somewhat.

Our issue is that if academic disagreement gets so personal and so political, we are doomed. It's worse than Covid. Stanford authors deserve to have their study gutted, but not the personal attacks. That is a slippery slope even if they go on bad TV shows.

Wait criticisms (even personal ones) of the authors of one paper are worse than 85,000+ deaths? You can’t be serious.

He also, once upon a pre-pandemic time, thought it was just fine to bully science communicators who focused on debunking myths. He thought that should be beneath legit scientists, but COVID has seemingly changed his mind as he deleted those tweets. He's something special.

Yep. Back in October (IIRC), Dr. Prasad likened debunking alternative medicine to Michael Jordan “dunking on a 7’ hoop,” making it very clear that he thought such activity trivially easy and beneath academics while what he does is SO much more difficult and worthwhile.

He then tried to portray those of us who pointed out that we also deconstruct deceptions of big pharma as buying into his contention that what he does is so much more important than what we do. I alluded to this incident in the last section of this post.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/is-defending-science-based-medicine-worth-it/ …

Funny how now Dr. Prasad claims his criticism and the argument were “mischaracterized” after having deleted the Tweets that would let observers see for themselves if he’d been misrepresented. https://twitter.com/vprasadmdmph/status/1262124150262398976?s=21 …

It’s almost as though the very eminent rising star in oncology Dr. Prasad is engaging in a bit of gaslighting, but the very eminent rising star in oncology Dr. Prasad world never do such a thing. Perish the thought!
