Has anyone actually read any of the links that he has put up? They look really boring to me so I don’t bother, so I doubt you have to worry about him influencing anyone.
I’ve googled the provenance of the odd one or two and invariably they’re revealed to be crackpot conspiracy theory or borderline white suprematist stuff so never bothered to delve further. They’re anti-scientific in nature and put their desired point first and then present ‘evidence’ to support it through dubious sources or crackpot ‘experts’ on the fringes of academia. It’s the same tactic deployed by flat earthers, Holocaust deniers and creationists.
I’ll make use of the ignore button on Neville. He hasn’t posted anything on OUFC for ages so I don’t think I’m missing anything by omitting his teleological posts regarding COVID.
EDIT. I’ve just Googled the supposed expert in the Corbett Report video and despite her medical credentials, she’s the archetypal outlier academic. Politically she’s very right wing and chair of a fringe Eurosceptic Irish party and I think realises that she can muster an audience (albeit an odd one) through swimming against the tide of academic opinion by arguing for the opposite. That’s not science any more, that’s putting your politics in the way of it. She’s attended the anti-lockdown rallies, shared the same stage as Kate Shemirani (a noted conspiracy theorist) and addressed audiences of anti-5G, anti-vaxx etc types. She was asked to resign her position from UCD back in June due to her views.
She’s a crackpot and that video and her views can be rightly dismissed.
