It’s that one issue about telling people they can’t have private insurance. I have a problem with that one piece of it. I know all the arguments and I agree with them, actually. But I hesitate on that one thing. It’s a process. We have a while before I’m president:)

Of course I do. The questions around mandatory vaccines, bundling, the $4B paid out in injury compensation since the Vaccine immunity Act in 1986 - I simply said I understood there are legitimate questions that should not be shut down in a free society.

No they do not. You cannot find one word that I have ever said that is anti-science. I do not rely on my “gut,” as you so condescendingly declare. Your description of me was taken from the cheapest kind of journalism. No professionalism or analytical judgements there whatsoever.

So let’s state it again. I’m pro medicine. I’m pro science. I’ve never told anyone not to take medicine. I’ve never fat-shamed anyone. And today there’s a new one: no I don’t support Scientology. The machinery of mischaracterization is in high gear now. Gee, did I upset someone?

@joelockhart No YOU are the one going on “gut feeling” to describe me as anti-medicine, anti-science, anti-data etc. You had no evidence, no proof, only hearsay & words taken out of context & shoddy journalism. I’m not “serious” enough for you only because I’m not in your club.

Given that her husband told the NYTimes she'd been on medicine for anxiety & depression for years, in what way was that irresponsible Anderson? We could have had a conversation of nuance & import yet that's not what happened. Unfortunately all you did was attack & repeat yourself

I have a 35 year career working with people in some of the most dire, crisis-laden moments of their lives; I think I'm "informed." I have never uttered an "anti-science" or "anti-medicine" word. Nor have I fat-shamed. Nor am I a Scientologist. Let's see, anything else today....?

I’ve never made light of mental illness. I’ve never made light of AIDS. And I’ve never made light of vaccines. Interesting caricature, but it has nothing to do with me.

Thank you, Bette. And I’m being mocked BECAUSE I’m telling some deep indelible truths...

I didn’t expect such an aggressive conversation with @AC360 but I figure it’s good rehearsal for debating Donald Trump.

Your perception of my beliefs is inaccurate. If I saw things the way you think I see them, I probably wouldn’t like me either. An actual reading of my books - not taking a sentence or two out of context in a way that can be used to ridicule me - reveals a very different picture.

During the early days of the AIDS crisis there WAS no medicine. And when there was, I supported it in every way. The only thing being "peddled" is this false narrative about my work. If you're interested in what really happened : medium.com/@davidkessler_884…
