To the user who keeps getting comments deleted for bringing up this guy's funding: please look up "ad hominem fallacy". Attacking someone making a statement says nothing about the truth of their statement
- vibrato2 5y agoWhat attack? He stated a fact about this mans funding relationship to Pfizer. He didn’t say anything about his trustworthiness, you assumed such. It’s not an ad hominem if it’s something the reader assumes. It is a relevant detail to consider whether to trust the person’s statement. He didn’t say the guy was a shill or to never trust a funded scientist.
