The forces of woo took a huge hit lately. [View all]

More and more, woo spreaders are being discredited, exposed as liars, or delusional.

Andrew Wakefield and Jenny McCarthy, and their autism/vaccination woo has been exposed as nonsense by McCarthy, and outright medical fraud by Wakefield.

UFO nutcases had a "seminar" at the US Capitol, and they made their usual accusations, but came up with nothing of actual substance.
Naturally.

A creationist "test" is all over the Internet, showing just how stupid creationism is.

A fake "US soldier" in Vietnam being touted by a "documentary" film-maker has been exposed as a fake.

A congresscritter, (republican, of course,) wants science to be approved by politicians.

And now a "famous" TV psychic has been 100% wrong yet AGAIN about a kidnapped child.
She has no comment, naturally.
