OMG. Dr. Atlas is so ridiculously full of himself, isn't he? Seriously, dude, you're a hack, and the criticism coming your way is not "persecution" for "heresy." It's well-deserved, given your promotion of dangerous #COVID19 disinformation. 1/ https://twitter.com/ScottWAtlas/status/1308581495959965698 …

@michaelshermer at@SWAtlasHoover: "For every Galileo shown the instruments of torture for advocating scientific truth, there are a thousand (or ten thousand) unknowns whose ‘truths’ never pass scientific muster with other scientists." 3/Show this thread -
Or, even better, let's quote Carl Sagan: “But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.” 4/

Guess which categories in Shermer's and Sagan's quotes Dr. Atlas falls into? (Hint: It's not Galileo or a genius, as much as he seems to think so.) When hacks and cranks like Dr. Atlas cry "Persecution!" I don't call it the "Galileo gambit" for nothing.5/5https://respectfulinsolence.com/2006/08/25/the-galileo-gambit-1/ …
