Huh, I actually thought this particular piece of woo had mostly died out at this point; haven't heard much about it for a few years.

I'd vaguely assumed that it was bored anti vaxers looking for a new Big Bad, but apparently it was Joe Rogan in 2020. Per Google Trends, it seems to have peaked early 2025, which is _much_ later than I thought. Maybe this is a consequence of dumping twitter; I'm missing out on important Oil Discourse.

So what? Some celebrity popularizes decades old good science, and that somehow makes it less valid or untrue ?
