The Professor of Denial

"In the seven years since the [Sandy Hook] shooting, Fetzer has leveraged his academic credentials to become a leading voice in a community of skeptics who argue the Sandy Hook tragedy and other mass shootings are hoaxes. On his blog and in a book, Nobody Died at Sandy Hook: It Was a FEMA Drill to Promote Gun Control, Fetzer accuses Pozner of circulating a fake death certificate for a fictitious child when he tried to prove his son had lived and died. Those statements are the focus of Pozner’s lawsuit against Fetzer, who lives in Wisconsin. With DNA tests, government documents, an affidavit from the funeral home, and Pozner’s son’s medical files in the court record, the judge has already ruled for Pozner on summary judgment and declared Fetzer’s statements false and defamatory. The jury is here only to decide how much Fetzer’s lies should cost him."

Fun thing I just learned: On some sites that require sign-in or subscrition (such as the one cited here), you can switch to Reader View to avoid having to give yet another website all your personal info.

'Roger Stone, a former campaign adviser to President Trump, appeared on Fetzer’s internet radio show and told him “there’s really nobody in the researcher community that I respect more.” '

If that doesn't damn a person, I guess nothing will.
