No, Mr. Pepper Sauce man, #DrDanErickson & #DrArtinMassihi do not deserve the "benefit of the doubt."

Then, during the video, they made a number of statements about other aspects of the pandemic that were demonstrably false, the most egregious of which was the claim that sheltering at home somehow harms the immune system. Utter bollocks, as my Brit friends would say. 3/

Since then, they've been all over right wing media platforms promoting their message based on an utterly incompetent interpretation of the results of
#COVID19 testing on a biased sample plus gross misinterpretation of other data that the lockdown is doing more harm than good. 4/3 replies 2 retweets 25 likesShow this thread
"Give them the benefit of the doubt"? Not just no, but oh, hell, no! They've demonstrated conclusively that they do not merit being given the benefit of the doubt. 5/5
