He had his work delayed 7 months due to politics, and then ignored while watching the world go mad, claiming to be following the science, when it was all a "timeline" trick.
I think it's important to understand his story as an irreproachable scientist that, it appears, has spent 16 years studying 72 studies, and whose expertise should have been #1 in the world (or high up). Instead, he had to give up on "science communication" because the media was purposefully angling for a narrative, and coming to the opposite conclusions after talking to him, and using his name as a veneer of legitimacy.
A really good case study in disinformation could be made out of this story.
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoThe weird thing is, if he thinks a) this a feardemic, b) masks probably don't help then combining those two he should be reasonably happy. People go out into the world wearing masks and washing their hands and it maybe helps, maybe doesn't. How does announcing "masks don't help protect you from COVID (as far as we can prove)" help to reduce fear of COVID?
