Of course Senator Ron Johnson endorsed Pierre Kory's MMS bleach quackery book 🫠

Quite the unholy journey of Pierre Kory, MD from vitamin cocktail/PANDAS quack to ivermectin/anti-vax quack to full-on bleach quack.

The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board is so hostile to the public that they refuse to allow anyone to independently verify a nurse practitioner’s claim of being board certified without paying a $40 fee.

Excellent news: Bruce Hoffman, MD of Alberta suddenly retired after he cheated a woman who was dying of a degenerative neurological disease.

Hoffman is associated with numerous quack groups like ILADS, A4M, ACAM, FLCCC (now Independent Medical Alliance), Institute for Functional Medicine, & ISEAI

Quite the quack fest, including two chiropractors pretending to be doctors.

We also have Brianne Dressen, one of the anti-vaxxers who worked with Akiko Iwasaki and Harlan Krumholz to spread nonsense by creating a "giving Wakefield" preprint and exploiting Yale's brand name.

The sarcasm of Dr. Mark Crislip is unmatched

ArminLabs is run by ILADS quack Armin Schwarzbach, who was exposed by the Danish journalists.

Schwarzbach sent an email indicating that a healthy journalist had active #Lyme and coinfections.

And only 1 of 4 journalists were negative on an Elispot test.

Young Milly also had an Elispot test!

MDPI is a predatory publisher that became a vanity publisher for cranks.

Autism quack Richard Frye, MD has been editor of 7 MDPI special issues!

And of the 52 articles published in these issues so far, Frye is a co-author of 24 articles, or 46%!

Thanks- Frye sued his former employer Phoenix Children's Hospital last year in Maricopa. (No docs available)

@cave-malum.bsky.social noted that his NIH grant was not transferred when he left Phoenix Children's (and eventually started working under Rossignol's brand name)

Small correction to your recent newsletter- Richard Frye's trial NCT01602016 was listed as suspended and later terminated in 2015, not 2017.

It's very strange that Frye's 2016 publication (and two others) fails to mention it.

It's disturbing to see the whitewashing of long-time quack Richard Frye by media sources that should know better.

Frye has long been associated with the anti-vax "autism biomed" movement, which promotes bogus treatments.

His dubious trial was terminated for non-compliance.

According to a recent HHS crankfest on Long COVID, they're making a website that will promote quacks & their bogus treatments.

And they are planning to promote even more chronic #Lyme pseudoscience, similar to what HHS has done since the first Trump administration but likely worse.

Nice: The Associated Press exposed the dangerous world of chronic #Lyme scams:

These men held a crankfest that promoted long-time quacks.

Four of the participants spoke about "vaccine injuries". There was zero mention that COVID vaccines can prevent long-term complications of COVID.

Baseless cruelty
September 13, 2025 at 9:08 PM
Thanks for the writeup! We long ago noticed that MDPI was a vanity publisher for cranks, and special issues edited by them were a typical vehicle.

Richard Frye is editor of 6 special issues. He is co-author of 11 of 22 papers in one of them. He is co-author of 7 of 15 in the one you looked at.
September 7, 2025 at 6:08 AM
Long-time autism quacks Dan Rossignol, MD & Richard E. Frye, MD promoted unsubstantiated claims spread by RFK Jr and his HHS. (Tylenol/acetaminophen, mitochondria, leucovorin/Folinic acid)

Frye's clinical trial at Arkansas Children's Hospital was terminated under suspicious circumstances:

An old meme about how victims of chronic Lyme quackery are falsely told they have many fake micro-invaders they call "co-infections" (based on real but uncommon circumstances).

A poster today on a chronic #Lyme cult subreddit is pleased to receive a 6x positive test:

Thankful for compassionate and thorough doctors like @jakescottmd.bsky.social.

In a new interview, Dr. Scott says "Social media amplifies dramatic patient stories, like Justin Timberlake’s, making rare California [Lyme disease] cases seem common and even almost fashionable."
