@mcnees Proof -> Prooves?

@mcnees Do you think this is a new phenomenon or just a new consequence of an existing one?

And to be fair, it sounds like you're talking about people claiming some concerted top-down attempt at silencing dissent (a pretty absurd idea if one is familiar with science/scientists), whereas I think most of the critics I mentioned talk more about things as a matter of group think among researchers (that then impacts the distribution of funding) rather than some grand conspiracy.

@mcnees I assume you're speaking here of the people one often sees online who would rank highly on @johncarlosbaez's crackpot index and not the likes of Hossenfelder, Woit, and Smolin, unless I've missed some key anti-vax developments there.
