Re: Astonishing

I don't think I'd rate Doc Mercola as the "most astonishing health disaster of the 20th century".

After all, there are thousands of cranks and quacks with websites. When they're not marketing useless glop, they spend the rest of their time attacking medical therapies and preventative measures that actually work (like immunization).

The two goals are connected. It's hard to fleece customers without first convincing them that every single mainstream therapy without exception is dangerous or ineffective.

Which is part of the reason sleaze operators target vaccination so obsessively. It's been such an obvious outstanding success, that it's necessary to deny its value at every turn.

It's like Holocaust denial for health nutters. Tweet
