That's all fine and good if you're knowledgeable in the field enough to evaluate his claims. But I'm not, and most of HN is not, so how do we know the difference between an outsider with the vision to see what the orthodoxy can't, and a charlatan trying to profit off lies?

The the fact is, charlatans are far more common than visionary outsiders.

And in Sikora's case, there are a lot of red flags indicating he's a charlatan and not a visionary outsider. The virus is "getting tired"? Really?
