Health Care Hucksters to Host Quack Convention in Nashville

[douglas9]

You would think the circus is in town with all the clowns headed to Opryland Resort and Convention Center. But no, it’s just a gathering of anti-vaxxers and like-minded proponents of alternative medical facts. The Truth About Cancer convention will descend on the convention center from Oct. 22 to 24, and you can bet speakers will spread just about everything but accurate information — that's a guarantee when Eric Trump and Roger Stone are two of your keynote speakers.

Preeminent quacks on the lineup include Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, who promoted the whole “COVID vaccine makes you magnetic” theory, and raw-food-advocate-turned-conspiracy-theorist David “Avocado” Wolfe, whose page you have probably muted on Facebook by now. Plus Randy Jackson of the Jackson 5 will perform.

It’s hard to take this Snake Oil Symposium seriously. The event website calls the COVID-19 outbreak a “plandemic,” features a lot of all-caps words and for some reason uses scare-quotes when describing their panelists and attendees as “natural health gurus” and “health enthusiasts” — either the copywriter has a poor grasp of how sarcasm and punctuation interact, or there’s a saboteur at the keyboard.

1. "Health enthusiasts"?? They're more like DEATH enthusiasts

2. Mini-tRump and Roger Stone?

Speakers at a Truth about Cancer conference? That's about all you need to know about the quality of this event.

Too bad Opryland is hosting, a good way to tarnish their name.

3. Seriously, sounds like a The Onion offering. Hard to take seriously,

all right. Some day people caught up in it will refuse to discuss this era, pretend it didn't happen and they weren't there, like Nazis when their glory days were dead and despised.

This is another truly remarkable, bizarre era of mass irrationality in history. Even though all these names are like aversion therapy against attending, like thinking of the old circus freak shows come to town but worse, I still sorta of wish I could be there, for as long as it fascinated.

Someday I'll look back and regret that I never actually experienced a tRump rally or other manifestations in person, only watched edited clips from the distant, unreal side of a screen. Actually, I already do. The tRumpists' glory days are past, and those of these whackos as waning as well.

4. Sounds like a Covid incubator.

5. It's amazing...

how well hucksters and grifters thrive in a system of unrestrained capitalism.
