    Oh, goody. Antivax alternative health scamster Joe Mercola is going all free speech martyr, and his fellow scamsters are lapping it up. I don't by for a minute that the @nytimes story from nearly two weeks ago prompted this. This has been in the works.pic.twitter.com/x0jajhPUOI

        As I noted in my post a week and a half ago, it's not as though Mercola hasn't been deleting "inconvenient" content for years (such as a his post likening vaccine mandates to the Holocaust) and blocking http://Archive.org  from indexing that content.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/joe-mercola-an-antivaccine-quack-tycoon-pivots-effortlessly-to-profit-from-spreading-covid-19-misinformation/ …

        I think he's doing it because he's scared. If he hides his articles after 48 hours its harder to call him out on them. He's been warned by the FDA 5 times over the past like 15 years. They're gonna run at him given the opportunity.

        It just means that whenever I decide to write about Mercola I'm going to save screenshots and web archives of the relevant posts and quote them extensively in my write-ups.

        I can’t decide which is worse him saying it or that there are people that actually believe it, al least in the context that he is using it

        Go for it! He’s moved to Florida, though, and hasn’t actually practiced medicine since 2009. So the only effect would be on his pride.
