It’s a great time to be a MAHA-pilled anti-vaxxer, because there are so many fun conferences to attend. … The MAHA Institute has hosted a series of round tables on everything from women’s health to autism, most recently convening a distinguished cohort of professional wellness influencers and disgraced academics to “find out how the medical journal ecosystem became a swamp of corruption.” I’m sorry I missed that one, since as a journal editor, I am always looking to improve my “academic gatekeeping” and “weaponized retraction” skills.
