      And even some on the right are calling them out now: "Why take this weird, hinky attitude toward the science for no good reason?" 12/https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2021/04/gbd.html …

      So Martin, Jay and Sunetra are denialists. They don't have to deny SARSCOV2 is the cause of COVID19 to fit that bill. They fit the profile, use the tactics, described by Diethelm and McKee and many others. 16/

      I've seen denialism in AIDS. I've also seen it in another field I've been associated with evolutionary biology and it's always "teach the controversy," as if there were merit in the arguments promulgated by these folks. 17/

      I am not interested in promoting or elevating their views. You can call me close-minded, fearful of being "proven wrong," whatever you like. These people have done enormous damage. I will continue to call their tactics, methods out. GBD "science" is not worth engaging with. end/

      It’s good you don’t mind being described as closed minded, because that’s literally the only way this thread could be described. If you’d have lived a few centuries ago you’d have enthusiastically burned heretics at the stake.

      Re: "If you’d have lived a few centuries ago you’d have enthusiastically burned heretics at the stake." It's ironic that in a thread on denialism that mentions HIV/AIDS denialism, you almost verbatim abuse HIV/AIDS denialists' tropes. from @aetiology: https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.0040256 …pic.twitter.com/ISDSM7M0x6

      This is a very common trope among science deniers, that the "brave maverick scientist" spouting nonsense is "silenced" and "persecuted" for "questioning" current scientific understanding.

          As we all may acknowledge, no good deed goes unpunished. Presenting a new finding to the world can be a sometimes daunting and almost thankless task. Skeptics and traditionalists never have open arms. Gotta have thick skin.

          UR not engaging the original idea but just claiming “nonsense”. Is it nonsense that FL has same outcomes following GB declaration compared to states with stricter lockdowns?

          If it didn't make out of peer review, maybe it was just bunk?
