Page creation

A new wikipedia page! Don't hesitate to improve it. I failed to find a rights-free picture, which would be a nice addition. Robincantin (talk) 19:33, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Inside Kelly Brogan’s Covid-Denying, Vax-Resistant Conspiracy Machine --Medium

B.S. from MIT

The links that we use as references to support that Brogan has a B.S. from MIT are both broken [1][2]. Looking for some other confirmation, I've found this from MIT news [3], which comes close, but isn't definitive. -Darouet (talk) 18:14, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Darouet, that will have to do for now. Robincantin (talk) 03:35, 12 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 12 October 2023

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Dr. Brogan's theories are not conspiracy theories or misinformation. To state this is completely incorrect. Misinformation about disease and vaccines comes from the pharmaceutical industry. 67.172.191.235 (talk) 22:38, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Tollens (talk) 23:08, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Several of Dr. Brogan's "theories" are widely known to be DISINFORMATION - period. For example - no diseases are caused by infectious agents - HIV does not cause AIDS - Antidepressant medication is never, or almost never, acceptable treatment - Clinical depression can often be attributed to "dysbiosis" (intestinal flora perturbations) - promotion of coffee enemas as effective treatment for clinical depression - the COVID-19 pandemic was engineered by the USA government to force vaccination, which would in turn implant control chips in recipients - and others.

The contention in the semi-protected edit request (12 October 2023 from IP 67.172.191.235) is ludicrous on its face. MerylNass (talk) 16:01, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Explaining my edit

I removed a paragraph for being unsupported by current evidence. My initial aim was to rephrase the paragraph to be more neutral, but in my research discovered that her claims appear to be true. Given that this page is contentious, here are the sources I used to justify removing this section. In my opinion the language used throughout should be changed to be more neutral but I do not have the time to do this now.

According to Nebraska Medicine, from an article published April 23, 2023: “Recent data analyses indicate that disease-induced immunity can be as long-lasting or even longer-lasting in some instances than vaccine-induced immunity.” https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID/covid-19-studies-natural-immunity-versus-vaccination

APNews, March 17 2023: "In recent years, the oral polio vaccine has caused far more cases of polio than the wild polio virus. Last year, cases linked to the oral vaccine turned up in rich countries including Britain, Israel and the U.S. for the first time in years." https://apnews.com/article/polio-burundi-epidemic-africa-vaccine-d7489fbf1bd75f8612672414d9a5f2c0 Neugeou (talk) 17:11, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't make any difference what sources from 2023 say, unless they specifically mention her (which they don't), and say she has retracted those previous statements and beliefs. Do you have any reliable sources saying she has retracted? Otherwise, the content should stay in the article. Isaidnoway (talk) 05:54, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Those two things were listed as false beliefs she had been perpetuating, but they have since been proven to be accurate. Since they were provided specifically as evidence of her spreading misinformation, but they have since been backed up by credible sources, it was no longer correct to use them as evidence. I don't have an issue with them being listed as things she has said, that's just not the context in which they were used. Neugeou (talk) 19:38, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
