The attacks on Dr Thornley were prompt, unwarranted and potentially libelous.
Instead of debunking his work, ideas or theories, they instead attacked him and his person. They drew straw man arguments, such as his more recent work with scabies, and then used that to undermine the publics confidence in his opinions. Failing to recognize all of the other studies both formally undertaken through his life and education, and informally conducted as an interested and qualified researcher.
Such attacks only cemented my opinion at the time, that there was something to hide and a greater hidden agenda. Because you only attack a person publicly when you don't want to advertise their ideas or opinions. There is no other rational explanation for it in my mind.
This MO has been utilised the world over during COVID. How evil. Apparently ‘they’ are protecting us by calling out these people. No country has been spared. Attacks in the early days on a group named the Disinformation Dozen sparked my interest immediately too. The level of censorship has to be questioned. Channeling what adult people can read, hear, see and think on media, news, radio, print, ads, billboards was just the very beginning. The prong of their attacks then turned to personally devastating take downs as you’ve said. https://counterhate.com/research/the-disinformation-dozen/#about

Excellent observations, thank you.

You are completely correct. I hope to be able to show how things have been done, specifically here in NZ. Thank you for your comments.
