Apparently @drlucymcbride and colleagues are hosting a zoom event tonight to discuss their awful and unscientific #UrgencyOfNormal advocacy paper. I've been asked if i can go there to challenge them.

I understand. But playing on their home turf and how liberally they use misinformation would only be an exercise in frustration in which they would gishgallop their way through their bungled appropriation of mental health and i'd be left to write more 29 tweet threads.

Were I to have a "guest spot" on their zoom event, I would read the 29-tweet thread in its entirety, & then log off. I don't care what they think about it, I don't care about them personally, and I am not interested in people who ghoulishly wield child suicides without care.

The media needs to learn how to critically look at data (heck, many do, even @HHSGov made some of their mistakes) before making policy decisions.
Me fighting with ideologues pretending to be experts in child MH is not going to help that, and only helps their "notoriety."

Media email dr.tylerblack at gmail if you want to discuss this further.
If anyone is attending the zoom event; do not be surprised if they simply either ignore the evidence i've presented or do exactly what tweet 2 said they would. But if someone can, read my thread to them :)
