You would think having suffered the consequences of living in a country run by idiot denialists, that the problem is we have failed to adequately debunk obvious nonsense, and we actually have a lot more work to do. https://twitter.com/venkmurthy/status/1322331707979214848 …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Fair, and as it should be. In medicine they are quite well known opinion makers, Vinay has published books etc. Not quite Atul Gawande famous (who is actually very good and a pro at debunking).
