Is this really appropriate behaviour from an organisation which is funding and acting as secretariat to a UK All Party Parliamentary Group?

A student at Stanford questions Bhattacharya's actions through the pandemic and they call him a snake

2/ Then the pile on begins with the offer of a debate, but hosted and moderated by Prasad, not exactly a fair neutral when he's also been involved with Bhattacharya and Brownstone

"Hey want to play on an unequal playing field"

3/Worth bearing in mind that the offer was made for a town hall where Bhattacharya could answer to the student body, however despite his large international profile, Bhattacharya and his minions feel the need to set their own terms, looks like cowardice

4/ As for @collateralglbl, please explain the snake icon, are you saying the student president is a traitor for questioning Bhattacharya?
What did you hope to achieve with the tweet besides a pile on?
This from a group which claims to be on the side of scientific freedom?

5/ Bhattacharya and rest of GBD crowd made out as if they are the victims in the pandemic
"We are being silenced" they claim despite members of their group having private meetings with no minutes with ppl from US,UK and probably other governments
Yet they stamp on any criticism?

6/ Surely they should be confident enough in the calibre of their arguements and evidence to do a student town hall without having to set their own terms?
