Good rule of thumb: Whenever someone describes his opinion about an issue in science and medicine as “heresy,” he’s almost certainly not like Galileo (contrary to what he probably thinks) and is very likely advocating bad science, pseudoscience, and/or quackery. https://twitter.com/ScottWAtlas/status/1318879928482410497 …

Add a claim of future vindication to his railing against scientific “orthodoxy” or “dogma,” and the chance that he is a crank approaches 100%.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2013/04/09/the-i-told-you-so-fantasy-or-the-fallacy-of-future-vindication/ …

If they start citing a famous quote attributed to Schopenhauer that he almost certainly never said (as @SWAtlasHoover appears to be paraphrasing), then the odds of quackery or pseudoscience become indistinguishable from 100%.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2011/02/11/a-proposal-anti-schopenhauer-response/ …
