      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 …

      Here's part one of the saga that I'm talking about. 2/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-strange-saga-of-peter-gotzsche-and-physicians-for-informed-consent/ …

      And here's part two, in which Gøtzsche tried to rationalize why he had agreed to speak at a conference alongside antivaxxer @RobertKennedyJr and other prominent antivaxxers. He claims he wanted to "refute" Shira Miller's antivax nonsense about MMR. 3/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/peter-gotzsche-and-antivaxers-should-a-science-advocate-ever-speak-at-an-antivaccine-conference/ …

      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/ …

          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/

          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. 7/7
