Antivaccine physicians like Dr. Lawrence Palevsky should all lose their medical licenses
Dr. Larry Palevsky is an antivaccine pediatrician who thinks vaccines don't work and cause autism. Most recently, he spoke to a large audience of Orthodox Jews in Rockland County, NY, where there is a major measles outbreak that his misinformation didn't help.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop: Allergic to fact-checking
Earlier this week, the New York Times ran a fascinating feature about Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop. In it, we learn—surprise! surprise!—that Gwyneth Paltrow does not like fact-checking.

Earlier this year, Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop held a quackfest in New York City. Well, the second in Goop Health quackfest is coming in January, and Goop is doubling down on the quackery by featuring Dr. Kelly Brogan, HIV/AIDS denialist and antivaccine and anti-psychiatry quack.
I do not think that study shows what you think it shows
