In this video, celebrity TV doctor Drew Pinsky utters one of the most discrediting statements any doctor can say…”in my experience”.
Why is that? Because no one doctor's experience is statistically valid. A case here and a case there is an insufficient sample size without a control group.
He followed that dumb statement with an even worse one…”the literature usually catches up to me”. That is among the most egotistical statements I have ever heard.
Pinsky is not a valid commentator. He is a TV doctor, a celebrity who has amassed a net worth estimated at $25M leveraging his celebrity addiction practice.
It's a clever strategy really. The appetite for gossip news about celebrities is insatiable. Combine that with the curiosity of their drug problems and you can obviously get very rich. Millions watched his episode following Dennis Rodman's trip to rehab. Now that's a money maker!
Jumping on the antivaxx platform is just a natural extension of his business model.
If his show was legitimate, he would have real infectious diseases doctors on it.
Never confuse entertainment with science.
Debunk the funk doesn't debunk anything. He provides nothing in support of his spurious claims. He just says "science" a few times and expects you to believe him. Debunk the funk debunked: https://metatron.substack.com/p/why-is-it-so-difficult-to-get-the
Good advice. This is definitely entertainment.
