Security quotes of the week

NaturalNews is a rather odd source to be running into on lwn.net. As far as I understand it, they will mine any source whatsoever to show their point that conventional (science-based) medicine is bad in just about all cases (which is harmful if believed).

The quote might give some people the impression that this is a reputable site, like, say, New Scientist, the next quote. I doubt that many readers of lwn will be mislead by this for long however.

What if a creationist site had come up with a statement supportive of free software, or a truther site backed open source? Or a place selling free energy machines (invest now!). I'm not suggesting to know the answer, but it's one for lwn folks to think about.

P.S. Your quote is somewhat ironic: "NaturalNews learns that not just the patients in a hospital have viruses" - some of their articles claim that AIDS is not caused by a virus, such as http://www.naturalnews.com/027922_AIDS_David_Icke.html

(David Icke also believes reptilian alien illuminati are controlling the world or something like that)

Mike Adams, the editor of the site itself, also has written something like that:
