      It amuses me how she simultaneously portrays herself as “perfectly healthy” but with a “health condition” that prevents her from wearing a mask. Those poor workers.https://twitter.com/davenewworld_2/status/1343052162889375747 …

      Sadly, there are a lot of antimask doctors out there. Political tribal identity trumps medical training, especially since almost none of these antimask docs actually take care of seriously ill #COVID19 patients.

      I have a physician acquaintance who is an evangelical christian and an ardent creationist. My head would explode from the cognitive dissonance.

      Early in my blogging, I used to write about creationist physicians a lot. (Anyone remember in particular the creationist neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Egnor?) Little did I realize 10-15 years ago how dangerous their science denial would become in a pandemic.

          In grad school in the 80s my school sponsored a debate between Gish a paleontologist. We were horrified by Gish’s tactics, but even more horrified that much of the public thought Gish “won.” Little did we know it would become a playbook.

          "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit." Seems like an apt description of the Gish Gallop.

          I grew up in the Deep South surrounded by Christian fundamentalists. I always knew they were dangerous. They terrified me, the doctors among them even more so. They truly believe all they say and have an agenda for everyone to believe the same.

          Yes, this delusional nonsense, bolstered by the Supreme Court's obsequious deference to any old bullshit as long as it's cloaked in religion, is a profound danger.

          I’d be interested in reading those — do you mind sharing a link to your blog? (I studied evolution education for my PhD. Thanks!)
