Last week, astrophysicist and famed science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson appeared on The Highwire, an antivax video podcast, to “debate” its host, antivax propagandist Del Bigtree. This incident demonstrates quite well why it is almost never a good idea for a scientist to agree to “debate” science deniers.

Who is David Gorski?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Gorski
Is David Gorski qualified to talk about vaccines?
Not really.
His specialty is breast cancer.
I suspect that down deep, Gorski's interest in vaccines, stems from his work with cancer.
At some level, Gorski has to wonder what causes cancer, and how to prevent it,
So why is Gorski shit-posting about vaccines every day, instead of staying in his own lane, and posting about breast cancer instead?
To be a specialist, requires you to foresake all other specialties.
The phrase "Jack Of All Trades, Master of NONE" has an equivalent saying in every culture and every language.
David Gorski is also responsible for recruiting students from the University he works at, to do pro-vaccine trolling online.
Anyway, Del Bigtree did a fantastic job of debating Neil Degrasse Tyson,
and i can see why David Gorski is pissed!
Del Bigtree Debates Neil Degrasse Tyson
its a 2 hour video. starts kinda slow, but the tension grows every minute,
until NDT is begging for mercy, begging for a "real" medical professional to step up to answer Bigtree's points

Turns out affirmative action fake degrees don't actually make you smart. Who knew?
imagine having a job where if you do something wrong, nobody cares.
