I don't care how beloved a celebrity is (and I have vast reserves of goodwill for both those named here), nothing tanks my opinion of someone faster than attacking Jen for standing up for science.
The power of spiritual platitudes cannot be overestimated.
Here @marwilliamson has captured two celebrities w/enormous megaphones—@BetteMidler and @janemarielynch—who are attacking @DrJenGunter for pointing out the truth: platitudes can be dangerous.

If my faves could take a break from beclowning themselves, that would be just swell. There have already been enough of them this year, thanks all the same.

And for the record, Marianne Williamson was the one person who "ran" for the Democratic nomination all those many moons ago who I legitimately did not think I would be able to force myself to vote for.

Sad that you missed the opportunity to support the cofounder of the @peacealliance and the founder of @ProjAngelFood, which has fed 13 million meals to those who were too sick to shop or cook for themselves, but I do hope you'll spread the word about the good work they're doing.

Glad she's done some good things. She's also done a whole bunch of terrible ones, including stigmatizing treatment of mental health disorders by non-psychiatrists like me when there is incredible need, so you can take your attempt to make me feel bad and keep right on walking.

No I did not do “a whole bunch of terrible ones, including stigmatizing treatment of mental health disorders by non-psychiatrists like me when there is incredible need.”

I never said that. I’ve criticized predatory Big Pharma predatory practices (once somewhat crudely, I do admit that) leading to over-prescription (as with the opioid crisis), and for that I do not apologize. But depression itself is real, of course. I would know.
