      David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Dr AM

      "Dr AM" has clearly never been targeted for attack. When people with a TV audience of millions repeatedly target you, it's VERY difficult to "just ignore them," given how they provoke a tsunami of abuse on social media, email, and calls to your office, along with death threats.🙄https://twitter.com/DrAMPhD/status/1418620460955324417 …

      Peter's own fault. A while back I suggested to him to just ignore them! I think Peter enjoys publicity good of bad!

      Moreover, even if you can "just ignore them," frequently those around you, such as secretaries, administrative assistants, other people you work with, and your family, cannot.

      Dr. Hotez (can't use first name, force of habit since childhood) it was more than willing to go on any show, on any network, and was extremely helpful and forthright. I think he assumed even Fox would treat him with some dignity, but unfortunately that didn't happen.

      Replying to @MdRisette

      As much as I admire Peter (having met him in person in 2018 when I was on a panel with him), he was a bit naive in that at first he didn't see the malignant motives and, more importantly, seemed to assume that he could overcome bad motives by being nice. Would that it were true!

      This is going to sound somewhat sociopathic, but I find that sometimes you can really wear down a jerk emotionally by continuing to be nice to them no matter how bad they are to you. Eventually they break. But Tucker Carlson and Ingraham proved me wrong.

      People whose livelihood and identity depend upon their bad motives aren't easily influenced by such a strategy, unfortunately.

      Sometimes I wonder if people who sell propaganda and lies eventually "get high on their own supply" and start believing it themselves. You can only being an echo chamber for so long before it starts to change your mind.

      I definitely think that happens. My guess? A significant proportion of those who start out as just grifters eventually become true believers if they continue the grift long enough.

          That fits with the Pyramid of Choice described by Carol Tavris in Mistakes were Made.
