Another “doctor” who doesn’t know what a virus is, etc. The very basics of biology.

Where do you all find these people?

If the question is sincere, here is a bio which you could have found quite easily. Apparently you judged without researching first.

https://merogenomics.ca/en/about/

Dr. Mikolaj Raszek

Founder and managing director Merogenomics Inc., based in Edmonton, Canada, was founded by Dr. Mikolaj Raszek in 2015, who currently manages the corporation. Dr. Mikolaj Raszek holds a degree in Honours Genetics as well as a doctorate degree in Biochemistry, both obtained at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. During graduate studies, Dr. Raszek became excited by combinatorial biosynthesis and its application to genomics.

After defending his PhD dissertation, Dr. Raszek moved to Germany in 2012 to work at the University of Leipzig. Continued interest in microbial genomics exposed him to the still novel but burgeoning field of genomic medicine based on human DNA sequencing, and he decided to continue his career in this area of science.

Upon his return to Canada in 2013, Dr. Raszek found employment in Edmonton at Livestock Gentec, a young company dedicated to exploring the commercial benefits of genomic research in the Canadian livestock industry. The benefits that genomic sequencing could offer became clear, and in 2014 Dr. Raszek decided to start a business that would provide access to genome sequencing to the general public. Merogenomics Inc. came into existence to provide greater awareness and education about the benefits (and limitations) of genome sequencing.

So,"another 'doctor' who doesn't know what a virus is" is a geneticist, biochemist with advanced studies aplenty, and founder of his own company. And, of Merogenomics, "Merogenomics is a wholesaler of DNA sequencing tests and supporting services for clinical purposes."

I am not defending Raszek per se nor 'ptsal.' but I don't understand the sarcasm aimed at another Freeper, given the information above.

After all, how does Republican Wildcat's academic, scientific and business resume compare to Raszek? Your "page" says "sometimes the passions of an intense debate have brought out the worst in me." Are we all in an intense debate? If so, what is the debate actually about?
