Finally, someone recognizes and calls these people out. As a meta-observation that I'm always trying to bring to people's minds, just running down the list on this single subject we can see that we are absolutely drowning in disinformation agents.

The very uncomfortable implication is this: if you're a big fan of someone as a source of "truth", there's a very good chance they're a disinformation agent. I learned a lot about how the average conspiracy theorist actually thinks by suggesting this to different people about "their guy".

This guy offered a huge list and he was swinging for the fences, so let me offer thoughts on what I consider a couple of strike-outs:

• Donald Trump (vaccine pusher)

Did he do certain things that facilitated it? Sure. Certain of those specifically involved the J+J vaxx, which is a longer story not mentioned so we recognize that we're already missing a deeper level..

But as far as "pusher", is that at all accurate? Well, he's said, "You should take the vaxx" a number of times, but then it's followed with, "but it's everyone's choice." In any case, you should ask yourself this: Do you really think there was anyone that was against it but took it because Trump said so? I sincerely doubt there was a single person. That is, he was saying it for an effect other than to encourage people to take it.

• Kary Mullis

The explanation was garbled and thus incorrect. Rather than explain why, let me briefly explain what Mullis did and said, which is virtually unknown anyway. Then one can compare that to what was written.

Mullis developed the PCR technique. In short, it's simply a copying machine, making many, many copies from a minute sample of DNA. Then you can do whatever the hell you want with the DNA after that.

What Mullis said was, "PCR is not a test, it's a copying machine. Don't say or do anything that regards it as a test in any way. To repeat: it's not a test."

But how many zillion times did we hear about the "PCR test"? It always struck my hears like hearing that a conviction in a trial was based on the testimony of an HP LaserJet. It just prints TPS report cover sheets and is not evidence of anything.

I mean, I hope these examples are not indicative of the overall quality. For example, I was glad to see James Corbett and Whitney Webb on it, who very few see through.
