So a certain prominent Skeptic has claimed that we at @ScienceBasedMed "have long openly displayed a far-left progressive political bias that has compromised their otherwise stellar reputation as a trustworthy source." Yet he cannot give any concrete examples from SBM.

I wonder if I should counter that this particular Skeptic has of late openly displayed a right wing bias?

Tempting but personally I wouldn’t do it. It’d end up becoming a ridiculous political debate, which in his/her eyes would validate their claim. I would either not engage, or deescalate & take politics out of the equation. After all, science should be agnostic to politics.

You are wise and probably correct. I probably went too far even mentioning what this particular Skeptic wrote, even as a subtweet.

I absolutely hate how medicine has become a political lightening rod. The politicization of the pandemic & medicine is absurd. Every sincere effort I make to combat disinformation is met with willful hate/ignorance. I’ve stopped trying to rationally debate w ppl like that.

One possibility: Politely ask him for concrete examples of a "far-left progressive agenda" from actual blog posts in SBM.
