Pretty funny that you bring up the term Kochtopus, you obviously are a betway nonprofiteer or else you wouldnt even know that word. Wolfe called a “RFK Jr. a largely ignored crackpot lawyers” so yea id say that she used ad hominem attacks.
Lol. Thanks for proving my point. I live nowhere near the Beltway and I am in a fairly low tax bracket fyi.
I'm just capable of seeing sophistry is all.
I guess technically Liz did call him a "name", but it isn't ad hom because she didn't rely on that in her article to make her argument. It was just how she closed it out.
You however have used ad hom at least twice now.
Also explain why you lied about the safety test thing above? Because he does indeed say that, I even linked to the timestamp.
You are insane. RFK said there were no placebo trials pre licensure. Pretty sure thats Thats a true statement. Some have gone through post licensure testing. If they found 1/32 that have an actual pre licensing safety test thats still a self own.
He didn't say that though. He said "immune to pre license SAFETY testing". THEY DO. They just don't do them the way he would like them to, and I actually agree with him on this point.
The problem is you called out Reason for claiming he said that, when he actually DID.
He may have meant the "true" placebo controlled thing, but that isn't what he said.
Vaccines are immune from double blind placebo controlled safety tests that all other FDA approved drugs go through pre licensing. It is my opinion that Liz Wolfe attempted to misconstrue that in her piece.
Lol. "Muh Kochtopus". Muh "Beltway Libertarian". Who is name calling now? Was RFK Jr called a single name like this by anything on Reason's site?
Full disclosure: I love Nick. I don't have to agree with 100% of what he says 100% of the time though.

He also says that FDA testing is the 3rd leading killer? HAHAHAHA really? Did he really say that?
Do you understand why some people have a hard time taking him seriously?
Medical error might be, but that isn't "FDA testing".
The funny thing is I think I understand RFJ Jr's position on this better than you do.
Vaccines are immune from double blind placebo controlled safety tests that all other FDA approved drugs go through pre licensing. It is my opinion that Liz Wolfe attempted to misconstrue that in her piece.
Vaccines aren't the only things that get through the FDA without perfect trials.
But how did Liz Wolfe misrepresent this? She was just going by what he said in an interview.
How did Liz misrepresent that? She didn’t address it. Should took a non substantive position and called him crazy.
