Germ theory denialism is the pseudoscientific belief that germs do not cause disease and that germ theory is wrong.

It thrives in the alternative medicine and anti-vaccine communities.

Alternative medicine isn’t just a mishmash of pseudoscientific approaches, but an organized ideology.
It’s a body of longstanding recurring ideas about health that continue to ooze through our culture and that are commercialized and sold to us as wellness.

Schizophrenia exists.
Mental illness exists.
Psychiatric medications can be life-saving.
Psychotherapy can be life-saving.
Don't let misinformed people like @profjohnread.bsky.social tell you otherwise.
Enough with the anti-psychiatry propaganda and stigma. ✌️

It’s absurd to say that asthma can be cured by inhaling vaporized oregano oil.
You also need to snort crushed croutons and use balsamic enemas—and if that doesn’t work, don’t go to the hospital. Go to the Olive Garden.

Stop telling me “to do my research.”
Sane people use the internet to research the best price on underpants and the top recipe for mushroom risotto.
You can’t research pandemics and virology on the internet to the point where you become a credible authority.

Science-of-the-Gaps Fallacy:
