Vicki Batts is a deranged conspiracy theorist writing for NaturalNews, one of the most productive fake news factories on the Internet. Batts is a general anti-science conspiracy theorist, having invented fake news stories promoting a range of topics, from climate change denialism to anti-fluoridation and anti-vaccine pseudoscience.
A sample of her claims (and style):
- That ADHD is a fake disease invented by Big Pharma to drug children for profit
- That flu shots actually spread the flu, based on a survey showing that many people think that flu shots spread the flu and some dumpster diving in the VAERS data base.
- That scientists are engaging in fraud to “adjust” sea level data to create a false impression of rising oceans
- That adding fluoride to drinking water constitutes “mass poisoning”, based in part on the rock-solid foundation that “Some [unnamed] believe that …”
She is also the author of the book Reversing Type 2 Diabetes: Evidence-Based Strategies for Reversing Type 2 Diabetes That Your Doctor Doesn't Know and Drug Companies Hope You Never Find Out, which contains precisely the type of spam it sounds like it contains.
Diagnosis: Completely unable to distinguish deranged, paranoid fantasies from reality, or helping people from scamming them. Might be Australian, though.
