WTF, @jeopardy? This is in a way almost worse than the first deal. So now, on the one hand, you have a man with a history of misogyny hosting part of the time. On the other hand, you have an antivaxxer and supplement hawker @missmayim hosting the rest.

I mean,
@jeopardy: Do you remember all the times Alex Trebek made nasty comments about pregnant models or fired them? I don't either. Ditto the times he promoted antivaccine misinformation and hawked bogus "brain health" supplements.Show this thread -
I keep wondering how
@Jeopardy could have made worse picks, and the only way I can think of is if the producers had picked@DrOz to be the permanent host.pic.twitter.com/T4aM47GBMQShow this thread -
Oh, and WTF,
@washingtonpost editors and@EmilyYahr? How is it that you didn't notice@missmayim's history of promoting antivaccine pseudoscience and, more recently, using her neuroscience PhD to hawk bogus "brain health" supplements? That's a huge lapse.Show this thread -
Oh, and since I forgot, here's the goods from 9 years ago.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2012/02/21/say-it-aint-so-amy-farrah-fowler/ …

And, because apparently there are those who fell for Bialik's claim that she is not antivax based on a video she made last fall, here's the perfect antidote of a rebuttal.https://youtu.be/5MY0Mzq3mhs

I should have included that video in the thread to preempt the "But last year she denied being antivax and said she'd get the
#CovidVaccine" retorts that I knew would be coming.

It's impossible to follow someone as beloved as Alex. Hasn't anyone here worked with a beloved colleague? Very hard to replace. Inevitable comparisons. Most of the hosts were obviously uncomfortable. Even Burton. I really enjoyed Rogers(!), Richards, Faber.

David, http://factcheck.org states that Mayim has received a covid vaccination.

That's nice. She's still at least antivax-adjacent and hawking bogus supplements. As for
#CovidVaccine...https://youtu.be/5MY0Mzq3mhs - Show replies
