      David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Alison is Tired of Covidiots

      This is actually a fairly common belief in the alternative medicine community. I first encountered it from a quack named Robert O. Young over 12 years ago.https://twitter.com/Awithonelison/status/1345399708274089990 …

      The astonished reactions of my Tweeps who've never encountered this particular flavor of germ theory denying quackery before rather amuse me. Maybe I've become too jaded so that this stuff just doesn't faze me any more.

          Well, many of us non-science but rational headed types let you do the edumacating while we stay far, far away from the armchair Doc Google crowd.

          Following you and SBM for the past 12 years (since pre med, attending now lol) was excellent preparation for the pseudoscience coming out of the wood work this year. It’s all variation on the same pseudoscientific themes, and why I think those beliefs are so damn dangerous

          no, haven't come across this nonsense - absolutey stunning. steered clear after the New Age nonsense more than a couple of decades ago, briefly noticed the anti-vaxxers then turned it all off. this is really scary stuff. wthf?

          Man, that’s a throwback right there. I actually think that may be the first post of yours that I read way back then, just after arriving in the US. I followed you at RI for a long time. Same old quackery getting recycled. Sad.

          Color me astonished! I thought I’d heard every flavor of quackery, but this one is new to me. In fact I’d say it’s the first totally new quackery I’ve heard in years. And I try to keep up.

          I like to imagine here is another place in Dante's Hell for purveyors who deny reality. It's not a nice place, they are imbued with a need to do something correctly. They'll recognize correct when they see it, incorrect things are like salt on a snail to them. They never die.
