      Assassinating the character of a person for political purposes has nothing to do with the pandemic. PRO this, ANTI that. Give a break good man. We are running out of time to control this pandemic. Divided and clueless about all the risks, we fall. It’s not about RFK.

      And here you had me wondering if I'd gone too far in asking if you were a "useful idiot" for antivaxxers movement. I'd even started to feel bad, as if I had gone too far. No longer, I'm afraid. Your continued portrayal of criticism of RFK Jr. as "character assassination" did it.

      I wonder how Dr. Noorchashm would handle it if he were in your situation, having responded to and debunked RFK jr.’s misrepresentations for over 15 years. I suspect, given his behavior here, he would be a lot less matter of fact and analytic than you are on new articles.

      I would welcome a public debate with Mr. Kennedy and Dr. Gorski. When shall we do it? Divided we fall. Together we can solve problems. There are many whose ears RFK has. Are you certain he is not amenable to reason? He is a pretty well trained attorney - and has done some good.

      This call is highly problematic. You are saying an actual scientist should sit in a forum with an antivaccine science denier as if they were equal? Do you really want to help legitimize antivaccine misinformation?

      "Live public debate" has been a favorite go-to tactic for science deniers of all stripes for a long time. I've had HIV/AIDS deniers, antivaxxers, cancer quacks, and alternative medicine scammers "challenge" me to "live debate."

      I never say yes, because such "debates" are not science. They are a forum in which a crank can appear to be equal to a physician and scientist and then Gish gallop to his heart's content and thus appear to "win." (Look it up, Dr. Hooman, if you don't know what a "Gish gallop is.)

      100%. I have turned down two national television shows because they wanted me to debate cranks. The cranks say yes to any publicity, even white supremacist podcasts I have seen (!), because they just want to be famous and get rich off our work/credentials.

      Yup. Nor do I accept any invitations to podcasts, radio interviews, etc. (I've only once been invited for a TV interview, but it wasn't related to quackery or antivaccine nonsense) if it is a debate with a crank or even if a crank is on a "panel" with me.

      I’ve even been approached to act as a go between. I’ve gotten emails from cranks asking if I would reach out to Dr. Gorski or others for debates. I just marked as spam. They want legitimacy.

      They can “reach out” all they want through you or others. The answer will still be. “No!”😂

          I had a similar conversation with a colleague. In middle school social studies there is a big push for researching two sides of an issue, and the global health topic came up. My advice on vaccines was "should they be mandatory for students". Better than "should you vaccinate".

          Never debate denialists! This guy is some piece of work. He probably thought the presidential debates this year were vauable. Denialists are not constrained by facts or the truth. Just see Trump’s performance v Biden. When denialists are debated, everybody loses.
