Poor Prof. Gøtzche. He's been spewing "skepticism" about vaccines for years and even agreed to speak at a meeting of antivaccine physicians before the social media blowback embarrassed him into backing out, and he's surprised that antivaxxers think he's one of their own? 1/ https://twitter.com/PGtzsche1/status/1369267972821422087 …

No,
@PGtzsche1, you don't get to claim you're being "misunderstood" after all the misinformation you helped to spread about, for example, HPV vaccines. Antivaxxers like you because you amplify their message. 4/https://vaxopedia.org/2018/07/30/about-the-cochrane-hpv-controversy/ …Show this thread -
Basically, antivaxxers, rightly or wrongly, heard what you said about vaccines, read what you wrote about vaccines, watched your behavior at
@CochraneDK, and thought they saw in you one of their own. That they saw you as one of their own and use your words is not surprising. 5/Show this thread -
Basically, you walked the antivaccine walk and talked the antivaccine talk. You should not be surprised that antivaxxers responded to that, particularly given how much ammunition you provided to them. Instead, ask yourself where you went wrong. 6/

The bottom line is that, if
@PGtzsche1 is not antivaccine himself, he has served as a useful idiot for the antivaccine movement over the last several years. By calling big pharma worse than the mafia, he has also served as a useful idiot for quacks. 7/7Show this thread
