So when PZ Myers puts out a call to action I first check whatever it is to make sure I agree with it and then I go to action. Most of the time it’s to crash a poll somewhere. Today it is to bring attention to a quack.

First off what the hell is a naturopath? And why the hell do they get to call themselves doctors? Maine why are you so crazy? Alright anyway here’s a quick version of the story in a poem.

Christopher Maloney is full of baloney

gave out garlic pills for children’s chills.

Flu shots? Oh Contrary instead try elderberry!

Enter Michael who knows the flu cycle.

“Mr.” Maloney what you think vital is only your fake title (Doctor)

Your claims unfounded I am astounded!

I’ll let people know, how much you blow.

Mommy Mommy (Wordpress) Michael was mean to me!

Shut him down I’m not a clown.

I’m a Doctor not a quack! You take it back!

Oh what the hell wordpress why do you supress!

Now enter PZ Myers who will fan the fires

and his horde who desires to point out the liars

and show people the reality of Maloney’s lethality.

I mean how could I not. But if you couldn’t follow that Maloney made wordpress shut down Michael Hawkins’ blog because he dared call Maloney out on his bullshit. Maloney was providing nonsense proven to not do anything remedies to ward off and help fight the Flu and H1N1. Hawkins also pointed out the fact that naturopath have no right to call themselves doctors. Well like PZ says there’s no way this won’t become 20 times bigger now that wordpress censored Hawkins. I’m helping as well. Here’s PZ Myers take on it.

This one is a pretty good side by side of the 2012 garbage about the world ending. It lays out a few of the many unadvised claims about what will happen in 2012 and on the other side it shows actual information backed by evidence and facts. But you know don’t take my word for that or the chart’s either. Go look it up yourself, and if you go to any quack sites to find your information verify what they say.
