I do indeed encourage my students to think for themselves, on the basis of historical and
scientific evidence (in this case, on the effectiveness of face masks against transmission
of respiratory viruses). But I've never compared Bush to Hitler. So while my teaching is,
in fact, beyond reproach, your "journalism" is appalling. Saying that I've "been accused
of" making that comparison, as if that charge were true, is nothing but defamatory propaganda.
