    Dr. Joel Kahn is a well-regarded "integrative" cardiologist. So why is he spreading #COVID19 and #antivaccine disinformation on social media? Simple. "Integrative" medicine can be a "gateway" to antivaccine beliefs.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/07/09/celebrity-vegan-cardiologist-dr-joel-kahn-has-become-an-antivaccine-covid-19-crank/ …

        A vegan cardiologist? What’s he do, replace hearts and blood vessels with turnips and bean sprouts?

        Which is so unfortunate because integrative medicine specialists are positioned to give responsible, science-based care to folks who feel disenfranchised from modern Western medicine, sometimes for very valid reasons. It really ticks me off when they go down this path.

        ...they also make integrative medicine specialists who are doing good work look bad and that’s also bad for patients. Grrrr.

        Thanks for writing this. It appears that the "metal detox quackery" is spreading quite fast. And the link between "wellness" and anti-vaccine misinformation is quite well established.

        Metal detox quackery has been around for a long time. I was writing about its use in cardiology a long time ago...https://respectfulinsolence.com/2007/08/29/argh-chelationists-are-mailing-pitches-t-1/ …
