Chris, I know you to be a great writer, and from what I can glean, a good man. You’re better than this piece. The title is 100% clickbaity and the hardcore accusations are not backed up. I hope you’re actually making $$$ on this, because the backlash is going to be rough. If you revealed that Dr. Spock suggested giving infants cocaine, than okay…But medical and scientific knowledge evolves over time--which is why we don’t suggest cocaine in cough syrup or “leeching” any longer. Even with the disclaimer (which comes after decrying Spock’s “toxic" parenting advice), this reads like a slam piece. The information could be reframed to show how much medical advice changes over the years, but as it stands, ir’s a disappointing slam piece against a man who, by all accounts, helped parents & lived a good life. If this were published in a mag outside of Medium, libel & lawsuit issues could arise. I’m sorry for the rough comments, but perhaps they can help you in the future. And, major props for your respectful responses to those calling you out--you ARE a good man, and I still enjoy your writing!! This was a misstep, though. Inflammatory statements abounded.
