He's a Dr. and a Stanford professor of medicine. The Great Barrington Declaration was signed by almost a million doctors. They were warning about the harm lockdowns would do to kids and they were correct.
Even if they weren't, this would still be unacceptable.
- IfOnlyYouKnew 4y agoAs I said, it’s debatable if the guy’s reach needed to be limited, the point you are arguing. What’s not debatable is that the breathless outrage-bait under discussion misrepresented the case for limiting the Dr’s reach with a straw-man argument, and so did you.
- indoclay 4y ago> misrepresented the case for limiting the Dr’s reach Could you help me understand what the argument is that this person should have been put on any form of blacklist?
- joshuamorton 4y agoAccording to its own website, the great barrington declaration was signed by around 15,000 doctors.
- scifibestfi 4y agoThanks. I didn't realize there was a further breakdown from the 934,094 total and can't edit it now. Here's the exact breakdown. medical & public health scientists: 15,989 medical practitioners: 47,278 concerned citizens: 870,827
- neuronexmachina 4y agoFYI, anybody who wants to can sign the "Great Barrington Declaration," and check whatever box they want: https://gbdeclaration.org/#sign https://gbdeclaration.org/#sign The list of medical practitioners and scientists includes a number of homeopaths and obvious fake names.
- anigbrowl 4y agoThe Great Barrington Declaration was signed by almost a million doctors You're off by an order of magnitude and then some. Also, none of the numbers they do claim are verifiable. https://gbdeclaration.org/view-signatures/ https://gbdeclaration.org/view-signatures/ You know, when you make a specific claim like that it's really worth the 30 seconds it takes to check it again to verify your memory is correct.
- philjohn 4y agoSounds like appeal to authority, a logical fallacy.
- Georgelemental 4y agoExactly, you can't trust any authority (Twitter moderation team included) to determine truth for you.
