Oh I see he’s been retweeting some other divisive subjects.

I think Garner has nowhere else to go. The serious researchers doesn’t take him seriously, and the terrible ones will go after him if he opposes them.

I'd say it isn't even about medicine or science or healthcare any more, it's about being a contrarian because it gets you attention. Maybe even seeing yourself as one of the disrupters, even though next to the real disrupters you'd look like an old bloke with a Boer War rifle.

There's something a bit desperate about it all. It still has the capacity to do harm, but ultimately, as you say, the horse he backed is going nowhere.
