    It never ceases to amuse me how cranks conflate the publication that they like by a single faculty member of a university as having been done by the university, as in, "Johns Hopkins concluded..." instead of Marty Makary concluded. (Makary is Johns Hopkins faculty.) 1/

        This conflation is a transparent ploy to make make it seem as though the conclusions of a crank faculty member carry the full endorsement of his university. It’s an exaggerated appeal to authority. 2/2

        Wait, you mean it is *only* Dr Makary urging people not to vaccinate kids rather than Johns Hopkins university & its entire school of public health? That’s a critical distinction!pic.twitter.com/fQACNnkMM5

        Supposedly the UK is hypervigilant about testing youth and identifying cases. 1 in 50 cases are being hospitalized now in kids.

        Ditto Dr. Genevieve Briand’s presentation, "COVID-19 Deaths: A Look at U.S. Data", claiming that, "Total [2020] death numbers are not above normal death numbers." It was published in a student newsletter, yet is usually cited by cranks as a "Johns Hopkins study".

        There are several Stanford faculty whose statements on Covid often contradict university guidelines so egregiously that I could be kicked out of graduate student housing if I followed the advice they've been giving on Fox News.https://twitter.com/malar0ne/status/1383453355167547400?s=19 …

        Mallory Harris added,

        Mallory Harris @malar0ne
        It is deeply frustrating to me to see this @Stanford faculty member and @HooverInst fellow spreading harmful medical advice. This directly contradicts our own campus' guidelines, which are keeping him safe. https://twitter.com/justinbaragona/status/1382888169704726531 … pic.twitter.com/BZAS8Jc21G

        I read his book, it's very self serving completely full of himself. But I have trouble not finishing a book I started, so I read the entire thing.
