Gosh, when I put it that way, it doesn’t sound like much. But at least Dr Rachel Dunlop has won the Shorty Award in the Health category, beating out some quack. Congratulations!

I love it when reason wins.
This is great news, because it means since I voted for her that a Big PharmaTM check should arive in the mail any day now – which I’ll use to buy natural cures like homoeopathy…
Since homoeopathy is alleged not to work through material means, can they really claim that homoeopathy is natural anymore? It seems odd to say that its a natural medicine at the same time as appealing to the supernatural.
I’m quite happy about the success of this little campaign – thanks for the assist, PZ!

Did Dr. Rachel Dunlop had any help from parynguloid central?
Yay Dr Rachey! She rules. Long may she battle the woo Down Under!
Of course, it would be better if she could just vanquish the woo immediately, but we have to be realistic here…
Oh, and everyone should email Mercola to commiserate. Suggested subject line: Suck it, you despicable cancer quack.
Dr. “some quack” Mercola’s profile lists:
“voted the 2009 Ultimate Wellness Game Changer by the Huffington Post”
Well if that isn’t a quack credential I don’t know what is.
From his website:
I’m sure Al Capone and O J Simpson had similar media exposure…
W00t!
Good, I was worried there for a while, but I guess the Shorty’s were able to enforce their own rules and the best person won.
Wait, has she actually won? Seems she is the finalist with the most vote, but that the Shorty Awards people could still give the title to Mercola or another finalist?
OK, just to beat this horse to death, while the Shorty Awards page doesn’t show a name next to winner and lists Dr. Rachel as the #1 finalist, they have apparently actually handed out the awards. Here’s the story.
Is that homeopathy ranger quack still picking on her?
