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

Replying to @gorskon
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.

Replying to @Brian_Orak
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.
