Hmm… was it, though? 🤔

Naomi Klein does expose Andrew Wakefield's financial interest in a competing vaccine later in the chapter.
So she knows this, but still associates his shady behaviour with being "anti-vaxx". When his story is just as much about the lengths to which some vaccine promoters will go while attempting to line their own pockets.
There's certainly chronic misinformation here. But not all coming from the vaccination critics' side.
Klein mentions that Wakefield was "banned from practicing medicine in Britain in light of undisclosed conflicts of interest", but not the details; https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/116736669993550595 Which I think are relevant, because they reflect badly on the medical professionals who promote vaccines, at least as much as on those who oppose them.

> Is there such a thing as *unorganized* religion? Or anti-organised religion? ... Chapman might say it's what vajrayana (tantric Buddhism) is
This is so 180° wrong I'm embarrassed to have written it. I've been reading more of Chapman Vividness site, and clearly I hadn't got to the bit about the teacher/student relationship being crucial to effective (and safe) vajrayana practice. This makes organisation more necessary than in other Buddhist yanas.
"Nein, ich habe keinen Verbraucher angelassen!", sage ich überzeugt angesichts einer komplett leeren Batterie (0 Volt). Allerdings eine Decke im Kofferraumverschluss eingeklemmt, so dass dieser nicht ganz zuging und die Innenraumbeleuchtung anblieb. Jetzt mindestens 1 Stunde Motor laufen und Batterie laden lassen.
Just listening to Duncan Greive's 7 May special edition of The Fold on the government's decision to abolish the BSA;
https://thespinoff.co.nz/podcasts/the-fold
I stand corrected on my suggestion that the BSA could theoretically accept complaints against podcasts. Greive mentioned that "on demand" services are specifically exempted from BSA jurisdiction. Confining them to regulating only live broadcasts.
