Woke, Fraud, Racism, etc. – all those things that I am not

Anyone who writes a lively blog like this one is bound to receive all sorts of attacks, accusations, insults, innuendo, etc. I certainly have been claimed or implied to be many things that I am simply and objectively not. Many of them are quite hilarious in their stupidity, in my view. Perhaps it might be fun to list (some of) them.

Here we go (in no particular order).

I am not:

• woke
• anti-woke
• someone who thinks that woke is a useful concept
• against restricting discussions on certain topics (but I may not be interested in some subjects)
• an expert on any subject other than so-called alternative medicine (SCAM)
• like Trump (I think it was D Ullmann who stated that I was like Trump)
• young (recently, I was repeatedly criticised for being an ‘old white man’)
• a woman (recently, I was repeatedly criticised for being an ‘old white man’)
• black (recently, I was repeatedly criticised for being an ‘old white man’)
• an anti-semite
• a racist
• right-wing (I have not even once voted conservative in my life)
• devoid of experience in SCAM as a patient
• a researcher who has never practised SCAM
• someone who has never done any original research
• someone who does not know what he is talking about
• unqualified
• someone who was fired from an academic appointment
• a pseudoscientist
• a man who has falsified his research
• on the payroll of BIG PHARMA
• receiving any money for running this blog
• relying on any finacial support other than my pensions
• a liar
• a fraud
• someone who took the Exeter appointment in order to ditch homeopathy
• out to defame SCAM (I am advocating solid evidence and criticising claims that are not evidence-based)
• running an evil empire
• devoid of self-confidence
• someone who despises women
• suffering from digestive problems
• unable to process feelings
• someone who manipulates data
• the head of a lobby group
• perfect (sadly, that’s the only claim nobody ever made).

Have I promised too much?

The list is long and the claims are as funny as they are unfounded. Evidence that (some of) these allegations have indeed been made can be found here, here, here, and here or, if you are really keen and gifted at doing searches, on X [formerly Twitter].
