I have no doubt that there is a difference in forces, however, a quick bit of googling turned up the distances of tomorrow mornings perigee versus last months totally unremarked perigee full moon and the difference is around half of one percent. About 2000KM in a couple of hundred thousand KM. IN fact the moon would have been further from Earth when the quake happened than at last months perigee.
The last time the media really got whipped up about it, this group of people were certain of major quakes, volcanic eruptions, king tides that might qualify as tsunami, flooding rivers, the whole box and dice. The problem is if you go hunting for it you can find SOMETHING, somewhere to correlate with a cosmic event and imply causation because you can generally find something that has happened somewhere on earth corresponding to any given instance of your "Insert cosmic event here" to say "This happens every time"
