    I’m going to guess the whole thing was written by an LLM, based entirely on how the make up fake citations all the time

      My partner is a professor and she has multiple students every semester that end up with plagiarism strikes because LLM’s are hilariously bad with citations. It genuinely just makes up fake ones and confidently cites them. It’s usually the easiest way to prove someone used AI to write something without bothering to do some editing.

      Of course, the shitbags will use it as an example of how academia is flawed so they can justify even more cuts to the sciences and education.

    As soon as there’s fake citations you’ve lost me that you’re trying to do this for the greater good or that you truly believe it. If you actually believed it to be true you would use real citations. I just don’t understand what the fucking point is though? What is the problem these guys have with vaccines to the point where they are willing to lie to get people to stop getting them?

      Best guess I can come up with is that they’re eugenicists who think others are weak and deserve to die.

        Yeah. I just thought RFK from what I know about him was that he was just well intentioned but stupid. Guess I was wrong.
