This morning's adventure in Virus Trutherism: Here's an account with this bio, who is endorsing a piece by an anti-vaxxer with some (surprise surprise) startling epidemiological claims in it.
Here is this post's author explaining that virus transmission is totally unaffected by human behaviors. I guess the viruses create little wormholes in space-time & jump between hosts, regardless of proximity. Amazing.
Here he is again, & not only is he wrong that SARS-CoV-2 is "seasonal," but this isn't even how a seasonal virus like the flu works! We can, in fact, stop flu from spreading by separating people & changing our behavior.
The best part of this post is this classic Virus Truther move, where he called an end in a previous post & it turned out to be wrong, so now he has to do a bunch of ultra-sophisticated statistical slicing & dicing to demonstrate that he was, in fact, correct.
Anyway, here's a link to the blog. Such foolishness, & to see an account that flosses its Stanford creds promoting it is pretty depressing. jbhandleyblog.com/home/2020/7/27…
