Three days ago, I asked
@naomirwolf
for peer-reviewed papers supporting her allegation of a "PCR test scandal". So far, she has produced only links to videos and unreviewed claims by notorious bullshit-mongers. My provisional conclusion is that the “scandal” is imaginary. Thread/

Videos, petitions and polemics play a useful role in public life. But their arguments should be based on known facts or likelihoods, rather than invented or debunked claims.

It’s hard to express how irresponsible this is. We're in the grip of a global pandemic in which over 2m have died. One of the vectors of this disease is misinformation. People who believe C-19 is not dangerous or widespread are more likely to expose themselves and others to risk.

You can see from the response to her many tweets that a large number of people believe her claim that there is a “PCR test scandal” and therefore believe that our lives have been restricted for no good reason. By spreading this false story, Naomi has put lives at risk.

I invite
@naomirwolf
to retract her groundless claims, advise her followers that the Covid-19 pandemic is real, widespread and dangerous, and explain the “PCR test scandal” she has mistakenly been promoting is a baseless rumour.
