      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

          My favorite is "A Harvard study" = (someone writing a book/blog/protest sign who graduated from/was faculty at Harvard)

          Physician in my area has a highway billboard which reads “Harvard Trained.” Turns out she took some CME courses that were put on at Harvard.

          You may disagree with him, and I don’t agree with him (and nor do I follow him), but a crank he is not. That’s wholly unfair.

          No it isn’t unfair at all. It’s not just his innumerate nonsense about medical errors. (Just ask @MarkHoofnagle.) He’s become a full-on #COVID19 denying/minimizing crank as well.

          This was exactly the case with the “research paper” published in medical hypotheses (later retracted by the editors) where “Stanford” showed that masked don’t work. The author didn’t even work there, yet his “research” was amplified and associated with the prestige of Stanford

          I remembered that one!🙌 "...its author Baruch Vainshelboim doesn't even work for @Stanford or the Palo Alto VA!"- Orachttps://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/04/21/medical-hypotheses-is-back-and-its-pushing-antimask-disinformation/ …

          Seen worldwide. Frustrating in cultures where seniority is highly respected, almost unquestioned, and local media give the crank a loud, sustained platform.
