    Thank you, @DKThomp for doing the unpleasant work of documenting (a fraction) of Alex Berenson many many (I can only conclude deliberately) wildly misleading and flat-out-false claims.https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/04/pandemics-wrongest-man/618475/ …

        It's an interesting case because I'm wary of labeling things misinformation too quickly. Science is much wider than whatever scientific authorities have digested at the moment, and freewheeling and yes, even acrimonious debate goes with the territory.

        But there's clearly a line between people having (heated and rancorous) intra-science debates, and are flat-out attempting to mislead, misinform and misrepresent. That line is hard to tell if you are not steeped in the field, and someone is deliberately pretending to be former.

        The decision to deny oxygen to deliberate misinformation by amplifying it, and going out and debunking it depends, I think now the character and nature of the attempt, and on this case, I think this is right. He is so obviously wrong so often, while wrapping himself in scientism.

        Yup the fact that this has to be done at all is a sign of how bad things are. Yet, timely. Hard to imagine how this affects existing members of his anti-vaxx cult. But should inform people "doing there own research" 🙄 and those on the fence.

        This is in part made possible by the longstanding practice of cable news giving precious air time to non-expert partisan bloviators like him. Why do any media ask him his opinion on this? It’s not like he has a track record or reputation for reliability o knowledge.
