i guess its sort of like how freddie de boer seems to self-ID as a leftist of some variety but spends all of his time and energy on his less-wrong style lectures at activists

I see why people are distrustful when it comes to the direction of his speculation and polemics, but I've never seen or heard of him making stuff up like this. You've probably seen more than I have though.

its mainly here http://www.rupe-india.org/57/pharma.html

where he sets up this sort of questioning or skeptical mood over the hpv vaccine and its effectiveness when in fact it has a high success rate at preventing cancer, and is widely endorsed by pretty much all cancer doctors. the 'sources' he cites that call this into question are basically non-peer reviewed editorials, and anti-vaxxer sites. some of the only peer-reviewed criticism of gardasil has been retracted for being scientifically unsound as well. thug lessons, pbuh, pointed this out when i shared the article a few years ago.

theres probably other ways to make this sort of criticism without relying on absolutely anything you can find to make your argument even if its extremely sketchy

when you've apparently been caught red handed posing as fictitious antisemitic Ahmadinejad supporters in order to "prove" that Ahmadinejad supporters are antisemitic, I don't think "is this argument sound, accurate, and fair" enters into your decision making process anymore. more of a "how fast will this get me my next cheque from a three letter agency" decision tree.

Levich doesn't misrepresent the content of his Gardasil-related citations in themselves, which misrepresentation I'd consider necessary and sufficient to declare "undergraduate-level" source abuse. You could call him for deceit by omission, I guess, as pertains the breadth of evidence pointing to the vaccine's safety—although I question the claim that its "high success rate at preventing cancer" has been distinctly confirmed, q.v. the reference-supported editorial by Haug (http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/184404 , "represent((ing)) the ((opinion)) of the ((author)) and ((the Journal of the American Medical Association))"), which weighs measured efficacy against but prospective risks. A petition by feminist physicians and an Indian parliamentary commission provide primary PATH-related documentation—hardly a hodgepodge of "anti-vax" quackery; in fact, the assertions of medical malpractice are mostly separable from determinations of intrinsic hazard, unless you take an extreme utilitarian outlook on experimentation. (It's true that the petitioners' extrapolation of 1,200 girls suffering adverse effects is methodologically opaque. Whether Levich presents it as such is more subjective.)

Notwithstanding the HPV bits, however, I believe his primary thesis—that "Global Health Governance" is synonymous with medical exploitation and underdevelopment of the Third fucking World—holds water. Part IV, on the "broader agenda" of the Foundation et alia., is especially good.

I'm afraid that Thug Lessons beefs with Cordeliers more because the latter's a Stalinist, and we all know what Thug Lessons thinks, about "Stalinists."

I will be posting the only “Fresh” review of this film on Rotten Tomatoes, where it has been dismissed as a TV movie (director George Mendeluk, a Ukrainian who grew up in Canada, has made TV films for many years) filled with mawkish melodrama. No matter how accurate the criticisms are, people trying to understand the Ukrainian political crisis of today will have a much better understanding after seeing “Bitter Harvest”. Needless to say, the Ukrainian press differs sharply from Mendeluk’s detractors at the Village Voice and elsewhere.
