He pushed hydroxychloroquine three years ago: Harvey Risch and false claim of “turbo cancers” caused by COVID-19 vaccines
Last week, I discussed Dr. William Makis' false claims of "turbo cancers" due to COVID-19 vaccines. Now it's hydroxychloroquine-promoting epidemiologist Harvey Risch's turn.
Nobel for Medicine Goes To mRNA Vaccine Science
The work of Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman made possible the mRNA vaccines, with implications that go beyond this one application.
Dr. William Makis and “turbo cancer”: Falsely blaming COVID-19 vaccines for cancer
A prominent oncologist and cancer biologist, Wafik El-Deiry, recently amplified claims that COVID-19 vaccines cause "turbo cancer," wanting a "civil discourse about science and actual answers that are missing."

The COVID-as-bacterial-pneumonia conspiracy theory rises again
In yet another example of everything hold being new again, antivaxxers have resurrected the claim that deaths due to COVID-19 are actually due to bacterial pneumonia, just as antivaxxers used to say the same thing about influenza deaths. It is, of course, another case of confusing cause and effect in order to obfuscate.
I Reject Your Medical Reality and I Substitute Death
Denying reality and substituting his own worked for Adam Savage. Not so much as an approach to COVID.
