In another example of how, in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic, everything antivax that was old is new again, Steve Kirsch is claiming that vaccine cause something like shaken baby syndrome, an old antivax trope used to exonerate baby killers.
Martin Kulldorff, co-author of the eugenicist Great Barrington Declaration that advocated a “let ‘er rip” strategy to address the pandemic to achieve “natural herd immunity,” laments being “fired” from Harvard. Is it possible to know what really happened? Orac provides educated speculation. (NOTE ADDENDUM.)
Antivaxxers who “repurposed” deworming drugs like ivermectin and fenbendazole are peddling cancer “miracle cure” testimonials that remind me of laetrile and Stanislaw Burzynski. Truly, everything old is new again.
Cureus retracted a misinformation-packed paper. Now Steve Kirsch and its authors are threatening to sue for $250 million. Hilarity quickly ensued.
A man “hypervaccinated” with 217 COVID-19 vaccines has been in the news lately. According to antivaxxers, he should be dead (or in bad shape), but he’s doing fine.
