      Why is the GOP going along with antivax propaganda? If it’s just a libertarian thing, why not say “The vaccine is amazing—and *even so* we will fight for your right not to take it!”https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/06/us/politics/anti-vax-scientist-senate-hearing.html?smid=tw-share …

      It's hard for me to understand. Other than actually believing the antivax lies, what possible set of beliefs could you hold that would make it seem like a good idea to give antivaxxers a platform to undermine public health in America?

      I can't see what it could be other than a cynical attempt to manufacture a new flashpoint issue — a right-wing variant of the holistic health antivax movement on the left — around which they can collect single-issue voters.

      1) She still has medical license in AZ BUT 2) I'd be surprised if she actually practices medicine, given all the other time on AAPS, DDP, OISM... https://www.desmogblog.com/2015/02/23/anti-science-associations-rand-paul-jane-orient-art-robinson-willie-soon-and-friends … 3) If you feel strong, stick her 16min video in window while doing other tasks:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC77yPrLXwk …

      BTW, for a real expert on AAPS, try @gorskon, who's watched them for a long time. I only came across them because they were involved in climate denial, Art Robinson, Oregon Petition, etc in the late 1990s.

      Thanks. I even wrote about her today, and my post includes copious links to previous posts by me and others listing just how much @AAPSonline is basically a medical John Birch Society masquerading as a legitimate medical professional society. 😉https://respectfulinsolence.com/2020/12/07/senate-committee-calls-science-denialist-crank-dr-jane-orient/ …

      Yep, like I said, you’ve watched AAPS longer .. but I did watch many hours of DDP videos (she’s President), including this 16min one of her that freaked out Carl, whose strength (needed) was impressive, he saw whole thing. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JC77yPrLXwk …

      Yep. I've been following the antiscience antics of AAPS since 2006.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2006/03/14/journal-of-american-physicians/ …

          I know how it is... although DDP “interesting”, bunch of old guys, often get climate denial talks (why I watched videos):https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctors_for_Disaster_Preparedness …
