“Never argue with an idiot. They’ll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
Why it's silly to debate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Joe Rogan about vaccines (theframelab.org)

First, Rogan’s debate setup contains the built-in assumption that Kennedy’s anti-vaccine beliefs are equal to Dr. Hotez’s knowledge. This is not the case, but it would appear to be the case if Hotez agreed to debate Kennedy. A useful debate generally needs two equal sides. The moment a medical expert agrees to debate an anti-vaccine quack, they have granted the anti-vaxxer a major victory. That’s because no amount of logic or reason can outweigh the impression that an anti-vaxxer should be regarded as equal to a medical expert.

“You should never equate, morally or practically, true science and pseudoscience or quackery,” John P. Moore, professor of microbiology and immunology at Weill Cornell Medical College, told Michael Hiltzik of the Los Angeles Times. “By just appearing with these people, you give them a stature that implies they’re equivalent, and they’re not.”
