The important thing is you cannot turn these people around. Arguing with them is fruitless because they don’t want to see the data. They will only come around when the people they trust change their position.
This is why we need to focus on protecting doctors who speak out.
They’ll tell you their priorities if you listen:
Bob just told us that he doesn’t value the truth as much as he values respect from others.
By "He" I assume you mean Kirsch's friend -- the person he's describing. Kirsch himself clearly values the truth or he wouldn't be doing what he's doing.
I edited it to “Bob”. Sorry for bringing an unannounced pronoun to the party. Thanks
