Doctors Respond to Being Quoted: “I Don’t Think You Realize How Silly You Look Right Now”
"They resorted to ad hominem attacks and dug a deeper hole for themselves."
Vulnerable Children Really Count
Why were misinformation doctors so eager to spread the easily-refutable myth that "no healthy child" had died of COVID?
Sensible Medicine: Medical Misinformation and Medical Groupthink From the Medical Establishment
We all have biases, including in-group loyalty. It's often easy to see such bias in others, though nearly impossible to see in oneself. As such, it's both normal and dangerous to imagine that only those who disagree with you are vulnerable to groupthink, while you are perfect beacon of independent, rational thought- along with everyone who agrees with you.
Conspirituality: A Book Recommendation
Conspirituality is a must-read for anyone who seeks to understand the daunting task we face in repairing the damage done by disinformation doctors.

Ideally, leaders of American medicine would have had the courage to correct misinformation spread by their fellow doctors. At a bare minimum, they didn't have to lavish praise on a doctor who repeatedly polluted our COVID landscape with obvious misinformation and falsely pacified people the worst was over, when in fact the worst was yet to come.

817,000 Americans had already died of COVID by December 23, 2021, and 244,000 more would die the next year. Millions more survived, but were injured.

Anti-Vaccine Doctors: “Kids Don’t Need the Vaccine Because They Are Less Likely to Acquire SARS-CoV-2 and Because Most Already Had COVID-19”
Those of us who thought about vaccines before the pandemic know perfectly well that anti-vaxxers start with their conclusions and work backwards to retrofit the "evidence." Doctors who do the same shouldn't be regarded any differently.
Steve Kirsch and Brandolini’s law
The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.
The Pandemic As Spectacle
Though calls for "debates" are made by unserious people, unserious people can do serious damage when they are willing to spread disinformation about vaccines, all because a doctor with principles isn't willing to play his part in their absurd theater.
A Letter to My Critics: To Refute Me, Stand Up For Your Own Words
Calling me a "lockerdowner" generates likes and retweets from "free-thinkers", but it doesn't refute anything I wrote. Since you obviously need help, I'd like to give you a clear roadmap to refute my ideas. All you have to do is stand up for your own words and make the affirmative case that the purposeful infection of unvaccinated children and young adults was...
