    You have to wonder at the whole denialist circus They've been wrong - flatly, boringly wrong - for months Why do people still listen?https://twitter.com/DrDomPimenta/status/1346095118042980355 …

        It's a great graphic. Problem is that people listen and they also feed off the divisions in the scientific community. That's why I have (perhaps forlornly) suugested that the main groups come together and agree to agree or differ as appropriate.https://twitter.com/pharminfotech/status/1346202604754272256?s=19 …

        The denialists "no excess deaths compared to a normal year" really gets my goat. A particular favourite of Clare Craig and Ivor the Engineer and Yeadon of course who with Levitt thinks it's all over.

        simply because they don't have time and or inclination to check if they've been wrong or not. They consume the outrage that reinforces their preexisting beliefs, they don't actually assess the merits of what they read or probably even retain it.

        Because they’re scared and pretending it’s not happening is easier than accepting it’s all a bit grim.

        They listen because it's what they *want* to hear. They want it because it's the easier, more comforting option. Death is scary. Disruption is scary. Financial ruin is scary. It's easier to bury your head in the sand, so you'll align yourself with people who facilitate that.
