Laughter. And to respond that I'm not going to watch a 2+ hour video by some rando on Twitter about just about anything, much less pushing dubious science. I have better things to do with my time.
If he summarizes his objections and whatever evidence he can muster in the form of an article no more than twice the word count of my blog post, I might engage, but there's no way in hell I'm sitting through such a long video that gave me a headache after 5 minutes.
Seriously, argument by YouTube is the LEAST likely way to get my attention, as I am not going to watch a two hour YouTube video on just about anything.🙄
Also, there's this...anyone who gets pulled off subreddits for conspiracy theories...😂
If this particular scientist is so convinced that #COVID19 is a prion disease (one of his videos calls it an "aerosolized prion disease"), why has he not published anything about it in the peer-reviewed biomedical literature?

WTF, @PolitiFact? I just learned from @BarryKarr that you marked an article by me on @ScienceBasedMed posted to @center4inquiry's @Facebook page as "False and spreading disinformation." Again, WTF? This is the article. 1/ sciencebasedmedicine.org/can-mrna-based…
Seriously, @PolitiFact, read it again. It does EXACTLY the opposite and says basically the same thing as your own article on the subject of #COVIDVaccine and prion disease, just in more detail. 2/ politifact.com/factchecks/202…
I mean, really, @PolitiFact, haven't you ever heard of Betteridge's law of headlines? Did you even bother to read the intro blurb that points out J. Bart Classen's idea is based on bad speculative science? 3/

You know, the first time I wrote about @noorchashm, I thought that maybe I had been too hard on him when I called him a "useful idiot" for the antivaccine movement. Now that I see he's appeared on @lifebiomedguru's show, I realize that my gut instinct about him was spot-on. 1/
Let's take a trip down memory lane about @lifebiomedguru for @noorchashm's benefit. You might remember that it didn't take long for him to pivot to #COVID19 crankery last year. 2/ sciencebasedmedicine.org/james-lyons-we…
However, before #COVID19 @lifebiomedguru had a long history of being an antivaccine activist. Basically, he was a scientist who ran a genomics/bioinformatics core who somehow went crank antivax several years ago. 3/

Holy crap. @gophawaii is promoting a Holocaust denier.
For example, he parrots tired old Holocaust denial tropes that I was dealing with over 20 years ago. They're the same; they haven't even really evolved with the times, like other conspiracy theories.
I mean, holy hell, He's actually pulling the "Zyklon-B is a delousing agent" Holocaust denial gambit. That's an oldie-moldy denier deception of the dumbest order.

Earlier this month, Peter Doshi posted a badly flawed "analysis" casting doubt on the efficacy of the @moderna_tx and @pfizer #CovidVaccine. Why does @bmj_latest still employ him? respectfulinsolence.com/2021/01/15/why…
The best that can be said about Peter Doshi is that he's a contrarian. The worst that can be said is that he's antivaccine.
While I'm at it, @JohnSkylar also takes Peter Doshi to task, although he gives Doshi too much benefit of the doubt for my liking, given Doshi's history. covidtransmissions.substack.com/p/covid-transm…

This is, of course, the dumbest antimask analogy out there. It betrays utter ignorance of virology and physics gussied up with a false sense of knowledge, so much so that I can feel neurons in my brain apoptosing whenever I see some ignoramus post this brain dead talking point.🙄
Yep...
Then there’s this inconsistency in antimask nonsense...

Woo-hoo! Waiting to get my second dose of #CovidVaccine!
And...I got it. No vaccine selfie this time. One from last time was enough.
And...woo, baby. Just four hours after I got the vaccine, my shoulder is really sore...
