The only serious problem here is that some people immediately trust a random article from someone who denies mainstream science simply because it’s a contrarian take.
I don’t understand the people who will question everything that comes from professionals and institutions, but within minutes of reading an article that is contrarian they think “Yep this all checks out and I have no further questions”. To see it happening in real time in this thread is wild.
