No, the other experts are at work, and don't have time to debate every person out there who has a following. This pandemic is not yet over and guys like Weinstein are all noise and no signal. Keep enough Weinsteins engaged and progress on this front (real progress, not imaginary progress) will grind to a halt.

That’s a valid perspective, but aren’t there thousands of professors and scientists, maybe tens of thousands who could potentially respond?

And isn’t it valuable to have someone respond? Isn’t there value in educating the public so conspiracy theories don’t spread? (And preventing the theories from being discussed just makes them more firmly held, whereas debate doesn’t have that effect.)

Other experts are at work... so let the youtube with no science credentials or credibility judge and censor vocal scientists instead? How is that a desirable process?
