Most of the statements in this article are false or exaggerated. There are no studies to back them up. These are just personal believes born out of fear.
Computer engineers like him should be shamed in public for speaking so confident about things they have not been trained.
We, as society, should point the finger at such frauds.

- febeling 6y agoWhy can't we reflexively refute things if they are wrong? Why does it have to be shaming so often these days? We need fringe opinion, we need new ideas. And new ideas on average means: bad ideas. Still need the process for the one brilliant one among all the bad. We should encourage people thinking out loud, and accept that this is a process. Including people with bigger-than-life personality, including lunatics who might hit onto something by accident, including amateurs. Please allow creativity again, especially in times of need. Sharing your thinking isn't misinformation. We don't need other grownups protected from mistaken thinking, because you yourself aren't the only one who can spot it.
- manmal 6y agoI think it’s worth a shot. Around the world, countries will use different strategies long-term, and the best strategies will be employed by all others, eventually. If cheap and extensive testing works as a means of reducing infections, then the world will be better off for it. Rest assured, studies will be done, but before they can be done, funding has to be ensured. And that‘s what I see this article try to do. I think condemning professionals for looking into other domains is not conducive to scientific discourse. The silo-ing of domains that has developed in recent decades IMO leads to local optima.
