Kelly Brogan is an anti vaxxer and a HIV/AIDS denialist. It's very sad to see her getting linked here.

I’m also wary of accepting controversial opinions at face value, and fully support your skepticism here. She’s not my favorite messenger, either. I don’t think ad-hominem attacks are fair, though.

The article is full of references to evidence outlining her position. Do you have any critique of her arguments you can share?

Calling out why a doctor is a quack is not an ad hominem when questioning their qualifications as a medical reference.

Yes, but only if evidence is provided to justify calling the doctor a quack.
