Germ denialism is wild given that we can straight up look at what germs do to human cells. It's Flat Earth level nonsense where you can confirm or deny it yourself with maybe an hour of halfhearted observation
He's not denying that germs exist, or at least neither the article nor the person the article is citing calling him a germ theory denialist say as much. He's a believer in functional medicine, which the author from the publication Science Based Medicine equates to germ theory denialism because it is essentially rebranding Alternative Medicine as a physician based approach which highglights how smart and cool they are for embracing it. Which is why it has had a lot of success.
Incidentally Mark A. Crislip used to do good podcasts but then he just started pretending reading an article verbatim was a podcast.
