This article is terrible - it conflates “attacks”, “harassment”, and “confrontation” without defining any of those terms. While I admittedly read through it quickly, I saw exactly two people who are claimed to have experienced anything resembling violence: Anthony Fauci and Marc Van Ranst. It seems clear that Fauci wasn’t targeted because he was “a scientist”, but because he was a federal official who set political policy. Similarly, while Van Ranst is listed in the article as “Virologist Marc Van Ranst at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium”, he was both an important figure in the Belgian government during Covid and regularly shares controversial political views on X: https://x.com/vanranstmarc https://x.com/vanranstmarc Those two issues aside - the vast majority of these aren’t “attacks”; they’re people disagreeing with the same vehemence and (in some cases) vitriol offered by these very people. None of them seem to be motivated by their being “scientists”, but by their being outspoken advocates - if not decision-makers - of specific public policies.
