Nope. The credible virologists and epidemiologists I respect haven't signed it

I highly doubt most of the signatures are fakes. I also highly doubt a counter-petition wouldn't get similarly trolled.

I don't have an opinion on either of those points. I'd just add that its important to note there are holes in this strategy that you could drive many hearses through.
