He claimed in February 2020 claim that SARS-CoV-2 contains a genetic sequence, thus proving that the virus was probably engineered in a laboratory, was repeatedly discredited by researchers and fact-checkers.[6]
His Wordpress blog, Science, Public Health Policy and the Law claims to be a scientific journal, with an advisory board consisting of three other prominent anti-vaccine personalities.
