I kid you not. My other favorite was the idiot who wanted peer reviewed evidence it mRNA does not alter DNA. So I sent six references including Watson and Crick. I was told that because I did not publish original articles on the subject I was not qualified to opine.
I guess Watson and Crick are a couple of hicks as well. I have indicated pick up any high school text book and you can read all about it. Can you guess the response. Yup. Not peer reviewed sources.
Since they don’t know what mRNA or DNA even is by such a comment to begin with, I doubt they even know what “peer reviewed” means.
