He's just framing the question.  The answer will be available in a few weeks.

Nope, even before Hanson started circulating his explanation for the medical study with which he had no affiliation, there was already very strong evidence his “theory” was false:

I didn't realize it was his theory, but then I don't really know the Classics prof.  He created it?  My sense was that he was responding to questions about the Stanford antibody study.  Obviously I was incorrect. So, could you point me to where VDH originated that theory?  Here's his private site, Twitter feed and list of articles.  I couldn't find it anywhere.

I think the critique was of the KSBW that quotes Hanson extensively:

I have no idea how or why they picked Hanson for an article about the Stanford test.  But it was not a good piece of journalism.  I don't have an issue with Hanson expressing his opinion, even though it is out of his lane; we all do (I mean, how many of us are football coaches, and yet we don't shy away from sharing our opinion on the football team).  But one of the responsibilities of a news organization is that if they seek to get someone to comment on the news, they should get someone who is an expert in the field, not a rando with an opinion.
