Zichi, yes, that is a protest in Romania, easy to identify from the flag and orthodox fanaticism. In other news, yesterday's top covid fatality countries were Russia, Romania, and Ukraine, I see a pattern here. Including some of the lowest vaccination rates in the world.

It is difficult to comprehend that we live in a society where scientists, the main driving force of humankind progress, are under constant threat from fanatical idiots. Somewhere evolution failed??

And by the way, I happen to know a Japanese doctor who was also writing pro-science articles, and she started receiving death threats, threats against her family and children, etc. And that was before covid, now I am sure it is much worse.

Yes, they want to kill the people trying to save lives. Sickos

They are running very low-grade software on their hysterical minds. If you ask them a list of beliefs, you’ll be able to predict the answers to the letter.

Most of them just spout nonsense with sock puppet accounts on social media to make it seem their views are more widespread than they are. They are thankfully a shrinking minority.

Unfortunately, some do get out of the basement and turn violent.

Wobot

It goes both ways, the left-wing fanatics are even worse because they have most of the media on their side but even after the covid hysterics were demonstrably wrong they continued to be put front of centre of everything https://fee.org/articles/modelers-were-astronomically-wrong-in-covid-19-predictions-says-leading-epidemiologist-and-the-world-is-paying-the-price/

Not sure why you would quote Dr John Ioannidis.

In April 2020, Dr. John Ioannidis published a study that asserted that Santa Clara County's number of infections was between 50 and 85 times higher than the official count. Turned out to be dead wrong. It's what happens when you get sloppy trying to prove a preconceived idea. He managed to trash his reputation over it.

The shame of it is that it will increase as the internet gets the crazies even crazier.

Marc Van Ranst, a virologist famous in Belgium for providing expertise about the COVID-19 pandemic...

Here is a video of the virologist giving some of his expertise last year, where he is laughing about how he manipulated people to take the H1N1 vaccine a decade earlier.

French virologist Karine Lacombe rose to prominence during the pandemic for her expertise lent during regular television and radio appearances and in articles.

She told AFP that attacks on her -- largely driven by French right-wing media supportive of controversial doctor Didier Raoult -- began in earnest once she spoke out publicly against Raoult's advice to use hydroxychloroquine to treat Covid.

Yes, Didier Raoult is one of the top, if not THE top, expert of infectious diseases. And he has been viciously attacked from all sides by big pharma-backed people because of his work on HCQ. He fights back against these attacks with facts. He has been running a large institute doing research and treating (very effectively) thousands of patients. They give regular updates and seminars by different experts: https://www.youtube.com/user/ifr48

Why isn't Dr. Van Ranst's employer sending a lawyer to court for him to defend his work instead of making him appear on his own time? At the very least he should be paid for defending the work his employer pays him to do. It's not as if he is doing this research on his own money and on his own time. Whomever pays him to do research needs to step up and defend him in court.  Under the circumstances that doesn't seem unreasonable.
