For any readers who might be caught off guard, Peter McCullough has been on a notorious press circuit talking every quack medicine theory under the sun; I'm not sure if he's after infamy, money, or both, but what he is not after is public health. He's affiliated with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_American_Physicians_and_Surgeons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_American_Physic... which is a political--not medical--organization. He was sued by Baylor for claiming an affiliation he didn't have. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_A._McCullough#COVID-19_misinformation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_A._McCullough#COVID-19_m... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_American_Physicians_and_Surgeons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_American_Physic... I've been sent links to his videos by colleagues (who, aside from the covid-19 conspiracies, seem like smart people), so I looked into everything that was wrong with this guy 6 months ago. Anyway, he's full of shit, don't take it from me, just go digging before you appeal to his authority.

Yikes. I see him get shit on a lot but what exactly did he say or do that was so wrong? Some of his original "fringe" ideas are now supported by science. Like having the audacity to say nature immunity is a thing.

  Instead of me pointing to random other authorities (which you could find yourself), let me ask you this: Why do you hear about McCullough often? Why among the millions of doctors is he one of the only doctors that can be found holding his position, instead of the outweighed-by-millions-of-doctors position that vaccines are a much better idea? And why, of all subfields, a cardiologist? Is it more likely that he's the only guy in the world who figured it out, or is it more likely that he is making shit up for money and fame? I'll leave the answer as an exercise to the reader.

    Okay. So what did he say? Tell me that and you win but you don't know and haven't heard. Someone told you to refute it and you comply unknowingly.
