Some folks who are part of the COVID vaccine trials are discussing their experiences on TikTok and debunking misinformation. @NBCNews: nbcnews.com/news/us-news/v… 4/8

@LFFriedman

Career EPA officials are emboldened, resisting Trump’s attempts to dismantle, you know, the environment; not unlike the people of Star City as they rose up against Damien Darhk in season 4 of Arrow. Sort of. Maybe.

The Daily Beast wants us to meet pet-psychic Beth Lee-Crowther for some reason, whose telepathic connection to Joe Biden’s dogs has given her insights into the next president. Biden is “a big softie”! He “has a great sense of humor!” Wow! Who knew??

Uri Geller says he’s sorry for suing the Pokémon Company over the psychic, spoon-wielding Kadabra character. I can’t believe how stupid this is.

With a 2-for-1 $50,000 match for #GivingTuesday, it seems like a good time for a reminder of the many, many, MANY ways CFI is working to advance reason, science, secularism, and humanist values.
centerforinquiry.org/giving-tuesday/

We're working to get religion and pseudoscience out of government and policy, fighting discrimination, religious privilege, and science-denial on issues like climate, science education, vaccines, and COVID. centerforinquiry.org/our-issues/ #GivingTuesday

We are fighting fake medicine in the courts, working to stop retailers from profiting from deceiving people about snake oil like homeopathy. centerforinquiry.org/press_releases… #GivingTuesday

You already know that the kind of good we’re doing at CFI is more important than ever, you know, what with the infodemic and rise of theocracy and whatnot. We’ve got a 2-to-1 match going on for #GivingTuesday, so your help will go a really long way. centerforinquiry.org/giving-tuesday… 2/13

In a time when misinformation, pseudoscience, and conspiracy theories saturate our media and erode trust in science and reality, the role of the public skeptic has never been more critical. (Thread!!)

Science denial, alternative facts, and magical thinking test the very integrity of society and threaten the health and freedoms of everyone. Those at the vanguard for the advance of science, reason, and critical thinking are indispensable.

It is those individuals who we honor as Fellows of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry for their contributions to the promotion of scientific inquiry, critical investigation, and the use of reason in examining controversial and extraordinary claims. centerforinquiry.org/news/10-new-fe…

Let’s all gather ‘round for a story about fake medicine, why people might use it, and why it’s so dangerous, especially during a global pandemic. Don’t worry! This story has pictures!

Say hello to Ben. Hi, Ben! Ben is a very famous and important man. He used to be famous for being a neurosurgeon! Wow! That’s super-impressive. Now he’s the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Go Ben!

He’s also on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, which means he’s part of the President’s team that’s responsible for protecting Americans from COVID-19, which is a really bad disease! The Vice President is in charge, but Ben is really important there. He’s a doctor!

We are now ready to begin the official transition to Tuesday, as links have been allocated for the day's edition of the Morning Heresy. Shall we? centerforinquiry.org/blog/divert-po… 1/13

Important! Make sure you’re registered for tonight’s CFI Insider HOLIDAY SPECIAL. Okay that’s not what it’s called, but it’s sort of like that. “It’s a Survival Guide to Surviving the Holidays, Charlie Brown.” But not with Charlie Brown.

Also important! We are none too pleased with a neurosurgeon and member of the Coronavirus Task Force telling folks, Hey I got COVID and so I took this homeopathic scam medicine! So we have words for Ben Carson. centerforinquiry.org/press_releases…
