Name: John Stone aka Pluralist

Frequently appears: CiF, JABS, BMJ

Interest: Anti Vaccination

Comments: John is prolific to say the least, with over 300 rabid responses published in the BMJ. Will detour threads towards MMR at first opportunity or Ben Goldacre, for which he has a most peculiar obsession. WARNING! Do not engage – whilst appearing reasonably coherent on the surface, John will suck all vital force from you within 3 posts.

John is now sufficiently paranoid to believe that a reference to media scaremongering over “radioactive paedophiles” is somehow an insult towards himself and other anti-vaxxers. For more on this see this blog post.

Name: John Scudamore aka Whale

Frequently appears: WDDTY; JABS

Interest: anti-logic

Comments: his whaleto site is a wonder of the modern age; a site so chock full of consipracy theory and bonkers logic it makes you glad you didn’t take lots of acid in your twenties in order to make up the most insane shit up you could: “TWO TIMES I USED A ZAPPER EVEN WHEN IT WAS BURNING HOLES IN MY SKIN: AFTER THE TIME I GOT HELD DOWN AND INJECTED WITH POISON (RADIOACTIVE?) IN THE NIGHT BY FEDS (ALONG WITH FIVE OTHER GIFTERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ONE NIGHT IN THE EARLY DAYS) AND AFTER A RATTLESNAKE BIT ME.”

Name: Mark Struthers aka CyberTiger (aka Celtic Leopard)

Frequently appears: CiF, JABS, BMJ

Interest: Anti-vaccination, sometimes anti-medicine (particularly statins) – with a Roy Meadows fixation and a position on flu vaccinations that seems to be contradictory to that of the practice he works for.

There must be a law, somewhere, rather like Scopie’s Law, that dictates that as soon as CyberTiger joins in an argument on your side, you have lost. CyberTiger or Cybercat or Cybertwat, (grrrrrrrr!), will NEVER never debate and will always opt for personal insult and nutty insinuation “As a cult follower of rottenscience, you will note that Sir Roy is not the only priceless prat in the Milky Way” Grrrrrr! Often encountered in combo with John Stone. Cast Level 10 twatgone and you’ll survive kiddo.

Name: Angladrion (Hilary Butler)

Frequently appears: JABS

Interest: Anti Vaccination

Hilary Butler is a liar, according to the popular blog “Jabs Loonies”. The blog post reveals that Hilary’s claim that Dr Bruce Baguley “told me how, when he got cancer, he cured his own cancer with vitamin C and Iscadore” is false. The source of the correction? Um, Dr Bruce Baguley himself!

Not true I’m afraid – worrying how stories change. I have never had a
malignant tumour. I took vitamin C one for a condition that was
diagnosed as a possible lymphoma, but was in fact much more likely to
have been a virus infection. It’s an interesting area but I don’t have
any data.
