    The right wing free market fundamentalist science denying "think tank" behind #GreatBarringtonDeclaration thinks it's the equivalent of abolitionists opposing slavery. What a massively inflated view of themselves they have! In reality, they're more like antivaxxers.https://twitter.com/stacey_rudin/status/1320792924083363843 …

    My latest on AIER: “Ask yourself, who deserves your trust? I would argue that anti-lockdowners are today’s abolitionists — people willing to take up an unpopular cause at incredible risk. Lockdowners may currently be “popular,” but they are on the wrong side of history.” https://twitter.com/aier/status/1320761068948508683 …

        Come to think of it, antivaxxers like to represent the science they detest as slavery or equivalent to the Holocaust. So @AIER really IS like the antivaccine movement.😂

        Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, The Pro Polio Party. The cognitive dissonance required to possess a science-denying mindset while publishing those illformed beliefs using technology enabled by science is staggering. 🤦🏻‍♂️

        It is long-established that nicotine addiction only works for most during adolescent brain development. AIER economist suggested there should be no age rules on buying tobacco... thus support liberty of Big Tobacco to addict adolescents & kill slowly.https://www.aier.org/article/what-if-there-was-no-legal-smoking-age/ …

        By the way, it is fascinating to see that AIER not only has a regular staff list, but has https://www.aier.org/staffs/ , which includes Jay Bhattacharya and Sunetra Gupta. Someone might ask them if there is a real affiliation. @CT_Bergstrom

        False equivalence is their game. I bet they have a playbook and that's one of the core points.

        Historically, the so called “doubt industry” grew out of the forces the tobacco industry roped together against sciencehttps://www.theguardian.com/environment/planet-oz/2015/mar/05/doubt-over-climate-science-is-a-product-with-an-industry-behind-it …

        For a useful set of books on the doubt industry, a slide from a talk I give now and then: https://twitter.com/JohnMashey/status/1291631338982797313 … CB15

        CB15/ @smokefreelife reasonably suggested adding Merchants of Doubt to my stack, a sample of books on general critical thinking. https://twitter.com/SmokeFreeLife/status/1291623191060729856?s=20 … MoD fits category of books on organized disinformation, as per slide I use in one of my talks.

        I asked this woman for evidence and got the standard “I’m not your secretary” routine.
