  "Getting health advice from Joe Mercola at this point is beyond defensible."

  It was OK before?

  You summarized this guy as "Influential anti-vaxxer and supplement salesman Joe Mercola wants veterinarians killed as he blows CO₂ gas up his rear."

  If listeners don't feel sceptical after THAT, I'm not sure anything can still convince them...

  Imagine an AI that trains on itself and the falsehood it produces. This removes the "science advances, one death at a time" - and thus, spinach is extraordinary rich in irony forever.

  If they are blowing CO2 up their butt do they really deserve to live? I say we do nothing for a while. It's been too long the herd hasn't been thinned.
