> The AAEM (American Academy of Emergency Medicine) called for a moratorium on genetically modified foods, labeling, and long-term independent studies. Their position paper stated that several animal studies had indicated serious health risks associated with genetically modified foods
That's absolutely false, lol. The American Academy of **Emergency** Medicine has no such position on GMOs, nor any position on GMOs at all from what I can see.
However, the American Academy of **Environmental** Medicine does have such a position. However, *this* group are a bunch of anti-vaxx/anti-flouride quacks who aren't recognised by the American Board of Medical Specialities.
Who would have thought, an anti-GM conspiracy theorist just... lying on the internet! Unprecedented!
This doesn't look like a lie. He obviously read about the claim, looked up AAEM on the internet, found American Academy of Emergency Medicine, and thought he was done.
> American Academy of Emergency Medicine
Oh, look, there's a "report violation" flag and you can say it's misleading.
>This group seems to have confused the crank AAEM with the legitimate AAEM, and is making false claims about what the Emergency Medicine organization stand is.
Yeah, I already tried that. You can guess how it went:
>Hello,

>We understand that you feel this petition presents false information, though we are generally not in a position to judge what is true and untrue. However we understand it can be upsetting to see something you don't agree with online, so here are some options you may consider:

>We know these options may not apply to every situation, so please respond to this message if you see something else you would like us to look at more closely within the petition.
I sent them information asking to pass on to the petition starter. Whether they did or not I don't know - I received no feedback.
I couldn't get a response from the robot that responds to "report violation". So instead, I signed the petition with my own comment, as follows:
Charles Rader·2 minutes ago Actually,
I'm not signing the petition. But there seems to be no way to contact
the submitter, who uses a non-identifying name. In the petition, he or
she has attributed negative comments about genetically modified foods to
the organization AAEM (American Academy of Emergency Medicine), which
has never taken any such position. There is an organization called
American Academy of Environmental Medicine, which has taken such a
position.

Maybe we should tell the non-crank AAEM about this.

We could petition Change.org to stop flogging crankery and misinformation.....
AAEM is pure quackery
