    Taking bets on no correction from the NYT calling him an “academic”.

    Aside: the willingness of news, politicians, and the general public to listen to non-peer reviewed nonsense from (often) anonymous “scientists” is an awful trend. Besides this smear campaign it’s also come up in anti-vax nonsense, election fraud conspiracies, and “reports” against transgender healthcare. It’s like everyone still knows science is cool beans, but forgot what science is in the first place.
