      You know, the first time I wrote about @noorchashm, I thought that maybe I had been too hard on him when I called him a "useful idiot" for the antivaccine movement. Now that I see he's appeared on @lifebiomedguru's show, I realize that my gut instinct about him was spot-on. 1/ https://twitter.com/noorchashm/status/1365764196667953154 …

      Let's take a trip down memory lane about @lifebiomedguru for @noorchashm's benefit. You might remember that it didn't take long for him to pivot to #COVID19 crankery last year. 2/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/james-lyons-weiler-coronavirus-conspiracy-vaccine/ …

      However, before #COVID19 @lifebiomedguru had a long history of being an antivaccine activist. Basically, he was a scientist who ran a genomics/bioinformatics core who somehow went crank antivax several years ago. 3/

      I first encountered @lifebiomedguru in 2017, when he was helping to run a dubious antivax "vaxxed/unvaxxed" study being flogged by various antivaccine groups. 4/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/02/24/another-zombie-antivaccine-study-rises-from-the-grave/ …

      Not long after that, he got into a social media spat with antivaxxer @LeslieManookian (who made the antivax propaganda film "The Greater Good." 5/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2011/11/18/anti-vaccine-propaganda-lands-in-new-yor/ …

      The Twitter spat itself was hilarious. Basically, it started when @LeslieManookian attacked @lifebiomedguru for not being sufficiently antivaccine in a blog post on @ageofautism attacking a @nytopinion piece on school vaccine mandates. 6/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/02/08/get-popcorn-leslie-manookian-attacks-fellow-antivaxer-james-lyons-weiler/ …

      Characteristically, @lifebiomedguru fired back, parroting antivax talking points that school vaccine mandates are "not scientifically supported"; "unethical"; and "violate informed consent." 7/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/02/09/antivaccine-crank-fight-james-lyons-weiler-vs-manookian/ …

          I wonder if @noorchashm agrees with @lifebiomedguru that vaccines are "filthy, nasty vials of toxic sludge" or his seeming belief that vaccines might cause autism. 9/

          More recently, right before the pandemic, @lifebiomedguru teamed up with antivax pediatrician Dr. Paul Thomas to do truly awful science demonizing aluminum adjuvants in vaccines. 10/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/12/20/demonizing-aluminum-adjuvants/ …

          So, I ask you, my Tweeps, what do we call a physician like @noorchashm who's so dedicated to his idée fixe that #COVIDvaccine is dangerous in those who've already had #COVID19 that he's willing to appear on the vlog of a rabid antivaxxer to push his idea? 11/

          Yes, I was correct the first time; my gut instinct was correct. @noorchashm is a useful idiot for the antivaccine movement. I now expect that he'll try to email my department chair yet again to complain about how mean and "unprofessional" I am to have said that about him. 12/12

          Replying to @gorskon @LeslieManookian @lifebiomedguru

          History repeating itself. In HS I wrote about the smallpox outbreak of 1902. They had the vaccine but drs at the time said the same thing that the anti-vaxxers are now & repeated myths originating out of Leicester, England that sanitation was the key.https://www.cleveland.com/metro/2017/06/smallpox_ravaged_cleveland_115.html …
