So @JoshBloomACSH at @ACSHorg is bragging that ACSH has been "hammering" Joe Mercola for years, going all the way back to...2016. Not bad, but...https://www.acsh.org/news/2021/07/25/ny-times-hammers-anti-vaxxer-joe-mercola-acsh-got-there-much-sooner-15689 …

It just so turns out that I've been "hammering" Mercola for his quackery going back to 2005. If anyone's been doing it longer than even that, I congratulate you!https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/joe-mercola-an-antivaccine-quack-tycoon-pivots-effortlessly-to-profit-from-spreading-covid-19-misinformation/ …

I think he was on the radar of the newsgroups for his alt-med practices back in the 1990s. He's found a lucrative niche full of fat sheep to fleece.pic.twitter.com/Ud1LZ1Ctrj

He really didn't take off until the 2000s, though. He only started his website in 1997 and didn't really get going selling supplements and such until a few years later.

I may be confusing him with one of the other Doc McQuacken clones

Oh, I'm sure his grift had started on a much smaller scale in the late 1990s. It just didn't take off and start making him millions and millions of dollars until the 2000s.
