I swear to god, sometimes I think social media is the worst invention ever. There’s this guy where I live who is a pharmacist. He runs a blog and host a TV show with the aim to debunk health myths. Looks harmless enough, but you’re wrong.

There was a petition sent to our provincial parliament asking for the government to pay for vitamin C injection for cancer patients. According to some, it helps with the side effects. The guy wrote an article saying that there is very little scientific proof that this actually works, in fact, it could be the opposite. He’s also saying the government shouldn’t pay for it. Again, looks harmless enough. Except, he’s been getting death threats because of it. You read that right, he’s being threaten for pointing out a scientific fact.

People have written to his broadcaster to end his show. They’ve written to the producer. They’ve called for a boycott of his wife’s books (she’s a well know writer here). They’ve posted the address of his pharmacy. Again, all of this because he dared to tell people without any scientific training that no scientific data backs their claim.

Imagine being so pissed off at someone stating the truth that you wish him dead. And he’s not the only one being harassed by that group. I know admitting you’re wrong sucks, but this is just insane. I hope he sues these people. Using the anonymity of a keyboard shouldn’t shield you from consequences.

(via 5 badly informed opinions about vaccines)

The Pharmafist (Le Pharmachien) is a passionate debunker of pseudo-science and various health fads who aims to educate through hilarious comics. I strongly recommend going through his site (the French one is pure gold, but the English is pretty solid too), starting with this classic gem on vaccine safety.

My fellow Canadians, you can also watch his TV show on ICI (French CBC): https://ici.tou.tv/les-aventures-du-pharmachien

Because scientists that can speak layman and draw pop-culture-based educational funny cartoons encouraging folks to apply critical thinking when presented with dubious health claims are absolutely, TOTALLY, 200% my jam.

Enquête trouvée sur le site internet : http://lepharmachien.com/jacynthe-rene-solaire/ *Les gens qui se mettent plus d’écran solaire passent plus de temps au soleil et que c’est pour cette raison qu’ils ont un taux plus élevé de mélanome. Pas à cause de la crème solaire. *Toutes les données actuelles suggèrent : qu’il faut éviter l’exposition prolongée au soleil autant que possible et que l’écran solaire diminue le risque de cancer de la peau. *Attraper des coups de soleil augmente fortement le risque de cancer de la peau. Raison de plus pour utiliser un écran solaire efficace. #cremesolaire #cancerpeau #melanome #ecrantotal #soleil #bronzer #attentionsoleil #pharmachien

Salut Eevie! C’est ta Secret Santa! Tu as passée une bonne semaine? I had a very busy week, but today I come bearing French jokes. When you ask the French, “qu’est-ce que vous pensez de Pâques?” They’ll respond with “C’est une bonne idée!” (Easter is a "bunny day" lol). Another good one is “Why do the French only have one egg for breakfast?” “because one egg is un œuf” (one egg is "enough"). Hope you enjoyed them, I’m here all night!! Just kidding lol. Je pense que tu as un bon week-end! :)

Salut, Santa! My personal favorite that I can’t totally remember is “What do you call a French dog who dispenses medicine? ... a pharmachien.”

It’s only in French for now, but my cosmic twin The Pharmafist (Le Pharmachien) has posted some good science about the recent pandemic in his awesome comics.

http://lepharmachien.com/covid-19-aplatir-la-courbe/ 

Most importantly, this graph explaining the need and easy ways to “flatten the curve” of exposure and contagions to be able to effectively contain and treat those that are ill:

(Seriously, if/when you have some free time these next few days (or weeks...), check out his stuff, it’s a goldmine of rationality against pseudoscience.   http://www.thepharmafist.com/)

Olivier Bernard, dit Le Pharmachien, fait la promotion du nouveau jeu « Invoquons des démons » qui cible en particulier les enfants. Le designer graphique du jeu, Steven Rhodes, fait auprès des enfants la promotion d’actions malfaisantes et criminelles : https://guyboulianne.com/2021/12/16/olivier-bernard-dit-le-pharmachien-fait-la-promotion-du-nouveau-jeu-invoquons-des-demons-qui-cible-en-particulier-les-enfants

Séance #13 - Le web n'aide pas la discussion

Internet a été créé au départ pour communiquer. Pour faciliter les communications interpersonnelles, mais aussi pour parler à certains groupes bien définis. Tranquillement, avec l’appropriation d’internet par de plus en plus de particuliers et avec la simplification d’utilisation au moyen de logiciels et de navigateurs, la communication entre les humains s’est réellement diversifiée. La télé, la radio, et le téléphone ne sont plus les seuls outils de l’instantanéité, l’internet a renforcé les contacts entre les humains. Mais a-t-il réussi à améliorer les communications interpersonnelles et la discussion de groupe, je ne crois pas.

Avant internet, avoir une tribune était un honneur, une chance inestimable. Aujourd’hui tout le monde peut parler sur les réseaux sociaux et même aller jusqu’à nuire au dialogue parfois. Tout cela est maintenant permis. Dans son article intitulé « La participation politique des citoyens ʺordinairesʺ sur l'Internet », Franck Babeau fait état d’un transfert important du pouvoir communicationnel. Il n’y a plus d’arbitre au débat. Tout le monde se crient dessus ou s’insultent parfois sous le couvert de l’anonymat. Y’a-t-il quelque chose de plus contraignant à la discussion et au débat démocratique que de devoir parler à quelqu’un d’anonyme ou encore à quelqu’un qui « cancelle », c’est-à-dire qui veut toujours mettre fin dans l’insulte et dans la méchanceté à la discussion ? C’est ce que nous avons droit depuis plus de dix ans maintenant sur le web.

Plusieurs vedettes dont des personnalités québécoises ont déclarés publiquement leur haine envers des sites de discussions participatifs. Ils sont épuisés des commentaire « gratuits » méchant à leur égard. Ils sont épuisés de devoir entretenir la discussion avec des gens qui ne sont pas respectueux. Ce fut le cas de Safia Nolin, du Pharmachien et de Dany Turcotte, mais il y en a d’autres.

Malheureusement, je ne vois pas à travers tous ces problèmes de conduite des particuliers où le web participatif permet une discussion ouverte et éclairé comme nous le méritons en démocratie. Ils nous faudrait à nouveau des abrites à ce jeu.
