Professional skeptics on misinformation & hoaxes: anti-vaxx, Planned Parenthood

It’s a “crude smear” to post a video where Senoff says she rejects the idea of all vaccines? (not a biologist BTW, and having an undergrad degree from 1968 doesn’t count). Mind you, that’s not a sting video or a trick question, that’s her answering a direct question from a fawning antivaxxer interviewer.

As far as safety, people including children have fatal reactions to all sorts of OTC products such as cough medicine or raspberries.

Is this a new tactic you guys are using? Because just last week I made a comment in another forum and immediately an antivaxxer popped up oozing unctuous goo. Again, it seems incredibly suspicious when people immediately pop up using the same tactics. Maybe you should accuse someone else of being a shill.

Sadly that elaborately pseudo-friendly (not so much in this case), pseudo-polite, pseudo-aggrieved behavior would strike most people as utterly sincere.
