    Because they're mostly not scientists, and few of the actual scientists are epidemiologists, and because they are spewing disinformation. #barringtondeclaration is propaganda, not science. 1/https://twitter.com/THEHermanCain/status/1314981278303703040 …

        #COVID19 deniers and conspiracy theorists are taking a page from a old crank playbook. Does anyone remember "Scientific Dissent from Darwinism" and "Physicians and Surgeons Who Dissent from Darwinism"? These were similar "declarations" against evolution and for creationism. 2/

        Or what about the open letter by the "Group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV-AIDS Hypothesis" calling for a "thorough reappraisal of the existing evidence for and against this hypothesis [HIV-AIDS] be conducted by a suitable independent group"? 3/ http://www.sidasante.com/contacts/group.htm …

        Or what about the numerous "open letters" or "declarations" by climate science deniers, most of the signatories of which are almost never actual climate scientists? 4/

        The bottom line is that "declarations" and "open letters" like this are a favorite tactic used by science denialists to give the impression that their pseudoscience or quackery has scientific support. Almost always, few of the signatories are actual experts in the field. 5/5

        The twitter account of a man who died from COVID-19 is downplaying the disease and spreading propaganda. It's like something out of Black Mirror.
