She's also a science denier in a lot of other ways, for example... 2/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/hostility-towards-scientific-consensus-a-red-flag-identifying-a-crank-or-quack/ …

She's also the executive director of
@AAPSonline, a crank medical organization disguised as a medical professional society that's been spreading#COVID19 disinformation. 3/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/07/22/aaps-crank-medical-association-promotes-covid-19-disinformation/ …2 replies 4 retweets 21 likesShow this thread -
Her organization,
@AAPSonline, also promotes antivaccine misinformation. 4/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2016/12/22/the-crank-medical-organization-to-which-hhs-nominee-dr-tom-price-belongs-lays-down-a-heaping-helping-of-antivaccine-pseudoscience/ …1 reply 3 retweets 16 likesShow this thread -
Heck,
@AAPSonline even published one of the most ridiculous antivax articles I've ever read by the granddaddy of the 21st century antivax movement, Andrew Wakefield himself! 5/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/09/06/andrew-wakefield-predicts-a-sixth-mass-extinction-due-to-vaccines-in-jpands/ …1 reply 5 retweets 21 likesShow this thread -
It also irritates the hell out of me that
@nytimes chose to headline its article by calling her a "scientist." She is NOT a scientist. She's just not. 6/1 reply 4 retweets 28 likesShow this thread -
Similarly, I'm irritated that
@SherylNYT and@nytimes described her as "skeptical of coronavirus vaccines." Dr. Orient is NOT a skeptic. She is a science denialist and crank. To call her a skeptic is to misuse the word. 7/2 replies 4 retweets 34 likesShow this thread -
That annoyance at
@nytimes aside, great going,@GOP and@SenRonJohnson, for legitimizing cranks and science denialists and giving them a platform before important federal committees. Is there anything@HSGAC can do? 8/2 replies 3 retweets 26 likesShow this thread
Let me just say to @SenGaryPeters, who happens to be my Senator and the ranking @TheDemocrats on the committee, I can tell you things about Dr. Orient. You really need to step it up to show what a crank she is. 9/9
