      An extremely comprehensive thread on COVID-19 denialism, and how to recognise ithttps://twitter.com/gregggonsalves/status/1383359271287492612 …

      Replying to @WesPegden @orinmoore
      So, Wes, denialism is a broader concept, discussed here: "There is an overwhelming consensus on the evidence among scientists yet there are also vocal commentators who reject this consensus, convincing many of the public, and often the media too..." 1/ https://academic.oup.com/eurpub/article/19/1/2/463780 …

      Shockingly, it appears that the Great Barrington Declaration meets the academic definition of denialism

          How do you prove a "overwhelming consensus"?

          Agree that COVID-19 denialism is a big problem! Though it's important to mention this isn't limited to GBD. Simplest example: I cannot count how many times I've seen the following: "research shows that if X% of people wore masks, the pandemic would be over"
