Mitochondria are the new mantra for the deluded pseudo-experts.
Seriously, what a stupid remark. If not experts, then who? Him? An anti vax frother with no scientific qualifications and no understanding of science? The whole scenario beggars belief, and if you read this as a plot in a book you would stop reading as it would be too far fetched 🤦

The enemy are the professors! Really? Why? edzardernst.com/2024/07/the-... via @edzardernst
'Don't trust the experts' is something you hear in a lot of conspiracy theories. 'Do your own research' they say. Experts are tainted by education and are apparently shills for something or another. Problem is that people that say this set themselves up as experts in their conspiracy & expect trust
reminds me of my notion that Reiki masters must be the best theremin players.

Our news media, everyone! Not talking about Fox. We all know they're trash. Rather, trusted news sources like NPR have been normalizing these extremists for yrs. I remember them giving airtime to QAnon crazies during Covid! Our media is complicit in getting Trump elected & normalizing the lunatics

Musculoskeletal manipulations in elderly patients with musculoskeletal disorders edzardernst.com/2025/08/musc... via @edzardernst
I'm increasingly fascinated by journalists allowing this sort of asinine statement to be made, completely unchallenged. Why does nobody ever ask for evidence of these clearly stupid claims to be produced?

"Nigel Farage is now the most popular man in Britain. It is almost impossible to find anyone who doesn't love him." But if you step outside your Wetherspoons, the picture changes. EVERY BRIT WITH A MORAL COMPASS HATES HIM!!!

And now it's time to play "Guess the DISTRACTION"!😡 (If this press conference actually makes it onto NBC Nightly News, I'll buy you a donut.)
“why do you keep sharing these memes”? ⚡️ so y’all can keep sharing them, too
Post this every day. Listen to the victims.
If you add up all of the relevant qualifications there might be enough for two shit-house cleaners. Just choose two who might be able to do that, none could be trusted to do it by themselves.
Boy, oh boy, wouldn't it be great if it made it on the nightly news! And please make mine a Krispy Kreme! 🍩🌺
I could not have wished for a better birthday present!!

"Tiene que ser triste creer que los científicos, académicos, historiadores, economistas y periodistas han dedicado toda su vida a engañarte, mientras que una estrella de realities de TV con décadas de fraudes y mentiras exhaustivamente documentadas es tú único faro de honestidad".
This picture shows me clearly: it is not belief, it is wilful action against truth, against knowledge, against reason. They do it to plunge others into misfortune and to see the misfortune.
