This guy is pushing invermectin as a treatment for COVID. How is this other article on the front page?

  Both articles smack of viewpoints I've seen & heard circulated in right wing religious circles (e.g. my parents) for a long time now. I guess if nothing else it's good to know where people are getting these opinions from, both for general awareness and because the resulting discussion can prompt deeper insights - like in this comment section - but I agree it doesn't exactly seem to be in the spirit of HN.

  If the subject of "schools suck" is worth discussing, the prompt for the discussion may not be that relevant. How many read the articles before commenting? Also, what if you discovered that, say, some astrophysicist whose work was being discussed was also a devout Christian? Would that suddenly make the original work less valuable just because they admit a religion you don't share? How about if they're Satanist? It's possible to disagree with others, about specific subjects, and still interact socially with mutual benefit. It doesn't threaten your purity to do so.

    They author wrote in another article that more than 25K people have died from the vaccine. We're not going back and forth about the merits of christianity and satanism and purity. We're having a fight about is the earth flat. And if you want to advocate for the flat earth position please go right ahead. But flat earth position has zero merit. The author lacks credibility.

      OK, lets say they think the earth is flat. That invalidates everything else they say? Are you certain all of your positions so correct that you can hold yourself to the same standard? I aint.
