In 2017 a University of Zurich report on media in Switzerland analyzed "six of the most-discussed 'alternative media'", including SPR, that "resort to conspiracy theories." Daniel Vogler concluded that SPR appears to be a "a pseudoscientific media research project."

Agreed, that looks surprisingly good to my admittedly non-expert eyes. Thanks for posting!

Hmm, now I'm a lot less sure. Both this website and the recent Vanity Fair article represent the "Drastic" team as heroes, but establishment public health people are less impressed. Here's a fascinating Twitter thread on the Drastic authors[1], though I'm sure their fans would dismiss this as an ad hominem attack.

The fact that the SPR people are anonymous is something people should be aware of when deciding how much stock to put in them.
