    @mattbc @propublica What I’m seeing here from people in a position to know on the politics, science, and journalism of this is that @propublica is trying to make inroads for their accountability journalism to some on the right, and this trashfire is the price of such initiatives.

      @mattbc @propublica And of course this half-pseudoscience, half-conspiracy nonsense doesn’t stand alone. Along with the “study” put out by Florida’s surgeon general, it injects politics and belligerent misunderstanding where it doesn’t belong. The half-hearted retraction from 10/28 isn’t much help.
