      Many people have probably heard about the Great Barrington Declaration, denouncing social distancing and calling for "herd immunity." It's popular with the White House, and it's the product of a Koch-linked think tank 1/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/19/health/coronavirus-great-barrington.html …

      #GreatBarringtonDeclaration is more than that. It’s a strategy used by science deniers since at least HIV/AIDS denial started 30+ years ago, the propaganda technique known as magnified minority.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/great-barrington-declaration/ …

          David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted John Cook

          The idea is simple. Get some fringe scientists or experts to start a petition or sign a letter or “declaration” in order to give the appearance of legitimate scientific controversy and doubt about a scientific consensus.https://twitter.com/johnfocook/status/1314301046756384794 …

          Magnified minority is a denial technique amplifying the contrarians' significance to convey the impression of expert disagreement. The Global Warming Petition Project uses this technique: it amounts to less than 1% of U.S. science graduates (full video at http://youtu.be/gecDy9wDuCs ) pic.twitter.com/e9jHZH4qmg

          With wordsmithing honed to provoke incautious readers’ minds to leap to false balance, false generalization, argument from authority, cherry-picking, and marketplace-of-ideas fallacies.

          Very helpful posts. Keep up good work. It’s useful when I need to politely rebutt my Fox News-viewing-Atlas-pseudo-science friends with facts.

          It goes back further than that, to the tobacco industry, in the 1960s.

          From afar, it reminds me… In Germany about 2 years ago, 107 doctors signed a declaration against lower limits of respirable dust and NO× in the air. Widely supported by the far right party. Might be a good idea to compare if, they used the same playbook.
