I think that popular figures trying to exacerbate a pandemic by sowing public distrust deserve a bit of vitriol in response. It's not a subject that's really amenable to polite argument; Sherrif Clarke is killing people, as surely as if he walked up and shot them in the head.

As OP -- One of my really good friends (and a mother of 3) is currently undergoing chemo to knock out her immune system and prep her for a bone marrow transplant since she discovered she has severe aplastic anemia on Christmas, several of my family members work in primary care in hospitals, I have a large very close-knit family with ~10 uncles/aunts with significant Covid19 comorbidities and a 90-year old grandfather who lives in an urban center. If "Expelling people from polite society" for directly endangering all of their lives is extreme then I'm glad I didn't share my true opinion of what should happen to these charlatans.

Oh nonsense....he correctly noted that a person with no medical training was trying to use fear and political motivations to get followers to do things that put them in physical danger.

That is not an opinion much less an extreme one.

I don't think it's extreme. He's quoting someone demanding that people ignore all public health information and engage in insurrection. We should stop listening to people who are actively and willfully undermining public health.

I only see facts.
