“Contamination” of COVID vaccines with SV40: The stupidity continues

SV40 Peter McCullough
Being interviewed by Alex Jones is not a good look for a physician.

It’s ba-ack. Dr. Peter McCullough has latched onto a recent claim that COVID-19 vaccines are contaminated with cancer-causing “SV40.” It’s all biobabble bereft of understanding of basic molecular biology. Again.

“New school” anti-(COVID-19)-vaxxers are all-in on “old school” vaccines-cause-autism antivax

Old School
New school antivaxxers are becoming more and more like old school antivaxxers.

Over the last month, Orac has noticed that “new school” COVID-19 antivaxxers are rediscovering old school “vaccines cause autism” pseudoscience in a huge way. Also, there’s transphobia. Lots of transphobia. WTF is going on?

Scientific review articles as disinformation

The "graphical abstract" for the "scientific review"
This “graphical abstract” looks so very, very scientific, doesn’t it?

Antivaxxers have always written dubious scientific review articles to try to make their wild speculations about vaccine science seem credible. Usually such articles wind up in bottom-feeding journals. Unfortunately a recent pseudo-review article was published by an Elsevier journal, making it seem more credible when it isn’t.
