Umm, and why exactly does the Delaware State University tolerate this sort of behaviour? It's unconscionable that they don't fire this ass-hat immediately, for causing thousands of unnecessary deaths through idiocy.
- essayist 12y agoWhat Broderick has written is irresponsible and deadly. His bio [1] says he's an Associate Professor with tenure. Firing him for an opinion piece will most likely be a long drawn out process. As with free speech protections, academic freedom has its trade-offs, because there are certainly some dangerous idiots in universities.

- A_COMPUTER 12y agoHave you read his piece? It's a random mishmash of accusations and conspiracy theory. It doesn't have anything to do with his field of expertise nor does he seem to have any reason to have special knowledge of the things he claims. The only thing he mentions that could be investigated to see if it has a connection is a clinical trial in January for Ebola treatment (NCT02041715) that seems to immediately predate the epidemic.
