Crank fight! “Reasonable” cranks vs Died Suddenly

Died Suddenly
The claim that vaccines cause previously healthy young people to "die suddenly" is not new. Stew Peters has resurrected this conspiracy theory and applied it to COVID-19 vaccines.

When “old school” antivaxxers meet the “new school” antivaxxers

"Beter Way" old school antivaxxer vs. new school antivaxxers
Antivaxxers like Dr. Robert Malone (second from left, the one who looks like Kenny Rogers) refuse to defend the childhood vaccination schedule at the Better Way Conference 2022 in Bath, England. Geert Vanden Bossche is the one sitting next to him adjusting his glasses and wishing he were somewhere else than with all these rabid antivaxxers.

An old school “vaccines cause autism” antivaxxer hosted new COVID-19 antivaxxers at an antivax conference last month. Although one new antivaxxer, Geert Vanden Bossche, was discomfited and pushed back against old antivax tropes, the rest joined Del Bigtree in spewing longstanding antivax tropes.

Is evidence-based medicine living a life of illusion?

Every so few years, someone writes in a reputable journal that evidence-based medicine is corrupt or an “illusion.” Here we go again, this time in The BMJ, and antivaxxers are going wild.

Urgency of Normal, the Great Barrington Declaration, and the antivax movement

Florida antivax antimask "Urgency of Normal"
Besides the horrible image, what was also horrible was the presence of all manner of COVID-19 cranks, including antimaskers and antivaxxers.

On Monday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis convened a roundtable including “Urgency of Normal,” Great Barrington Declaration authors, and antivaxxers. This was no coincidence, given the common talking points and causes between the groups.
