Paul Cottrell Interviews Judy Mikovits

I’ve had some requests to address the detractors to this woman and her claims from readers, and I’ve seen them myself.
It would be highly involved for me to address each and every accusation against Ms. Mikovits, since I have a lot of observations to make, from the silliness of some of the peer review I have actually experienced myself in professional publications, to the character attacks (this is called the genetic fallacy [or it could be characterized as ad homineim attacks], and it’s a formal logical fallacy), to completely ignoring the substance of her arguments, to trying to criticize from the perspective of not really understanding what epidemiological studies are all about and how they’re conducted (there is a gargantuan difference between an epidemiological study for, say, worker exposure to Benzene or Isocyanates, and something like SARS-CoV-2). Before quitting, I’ll also say that there is a huge difference between trying to get points across in a 30 minute video intended for the non-scientific masses, and a more detailed conversation like this. I understand the difference. Some people are too stupid to do that. Some of my own readers complain when I write two-minute reads, some complain when I write one-hour long prose. I can’t write a book every time I write (and supply every caveat and qualification) and you can’t please everybody.
Perhaps I’ll catalog all of my responses at some point, but in the interest of allowing her to answer her critics herself, here it is. It’s long (some 2.5 hours). But if you hear any detractors in the future, ask them one single question. Did they listen to this entire video and do they have an answer for everything she said, in order, one by one, in detail? If not, you should summarily dismiss their criticism.

Attack the messenger and not the message. They’re doing the same to Knut Wittkowski. He makes a hell of a lot of sense to me.
