Not among working scientists, but on this site, I occasionally encounter theories that do not fit the existing, large-scale real-life data at all.
Must-ask question for any theory: "What would the world look like, if this were true."
To be science, it has to connect to reality.

This is why I love Zeynep. She’s not afraid of pissing off the “Everyone is gonna get Covid 900 times a year and it’ll end society” crybaby Covidian libs. Surprised they haven’t turned on her more, to be honest.
