His "theories" have been destroyed for decades. It's always the same old shit. We are tired of it. If you don't even have the decency to document yourself before blurting out such crap, you may not deserve much patience.

Remember: this guy lost a job. Discriminations kill and ruin the lives of millions routinely.

That's Dr Soh, one of the people from the Quillete article, and the one I said had a decent claim to being able to comment.
Yeah, but they weren't debunked for decades. Nobody thought to check that before demanding he be silenced
