They're using the C-word on Alien believers!

What's funny here -- absolutely hilarious -- is the
idea that SETI, a group of people making a living
off of searching for aliens, is calling their fellow
fellow believers kooky conspiracy freaks.

That's not an exact quote but this is:

(Regarding the Proxima Centauri signal)

: When I meet someone who believes in conspiracy theories
: involving scientists, such as those propounded by anti-vaxxers
: or those involving aliens,

You're an Anti-Vaxxer if you believe as they do?!?!?

So the people at SETI are all Anti-Vaxxers?

: I tell them that I know my colleagues,
: and there will be always be one who leaks a secret like this.
: And that is precisely what happened with BLC1, where the
: story started with a leak from a Breakthrough Listen scientist
: to The Guardian. And what started as a leak is now spreading
: quickly in the news. I hope my colleagues and reporters will
: emphasize that this signal is a candidate and NOTHING BUT
: A CANDIDATE. It’s far too early to speculate on the
: consequences of finding a technosignature on Proxima
: Centauri, even though it’s appealing and fun to talk about it.

Naughty-naughty!
