I seem to remember a similar list a few years ago regarding climate change deniers, easily debunked due to the inclusion of Piers Effing Corbyn.

One of the problems comes when someone who an expect in 1 specific field start commenting on a different field
especially if the second field is similar to his/her expertise - or looks that way to an outsider - so they look genuine but actually are not an expert at all in the new field

It is scientific fact when a death is recorded as being "within x days of a positive Covid test".
A positive PCR test is scientific fact. We can argue about accuracy of figures and test results- no measure is perfect - but they have been shown to be highly accurate.
You fail to realise that pneumonia is the most common mechanism by which Covid progresses, and indeed is responsible for those familiar symptoms of cough, fever, inflamed lungs and reduced oxygen saturation.
Other infections can also cause pneumonia, but if a highly accurate test shows that covid is present, what is your motivation to look for fanciful other reasons?
As for flu, just take a glance at the historical record and you'll see that covid deaths are far greater than flu deaths in recent years. You can also see the very significant benefit from when flu jabs commenced. Bear in mind that flu jabs have been offered to a much wider age range in the last two winters; flu is not the bogeyman that you suggest.
Covid causes massive issues for countries around the world. Yes, it's often mild, but significant percentages suffer stronger symptoms.
Staff absence affects all workplaces, particularly medical settings. Recovery can take weeks.
Long Covid can last months or be permanent.
Death is fairly permanent!
Also consider the impact on other NHS treatments, the extending waiting lists, the long waits for an ambulance.
All of these problems are significantly reduced by taking simple precautions and accepting occasional jabs.
All of these problems are exacerbated by the idiotic opinions of nutters who deny Covid.

Some people see Dr and assume medical Dr.
I have seen people with doctorates in economics comment on virology issues, or in the USA some chiropractors have Dr in their title.

The more qualified I get, the less confident I am commenting on matters within my own field, never mind without it.
(I passed my MSc by the way, for anyone who's been following, and supportive. I guess I can now call myself a clinical biochemist, although not yet a clinical scientist, that's a protected title and should come later in the year)

And some countries will follow the US into pointless or illegal invasions which is not right either.

Along with rights come both responsibilities and consequences upon exercising them.
What we are seeing here is a toddler in adult form having a tantrum because the exercising of what the toddler perceives as his rights, has had unexpected and unwanted (to the toddler) consequences.
I think the advice on C-19 from any of those three would be significantly more useful than that from many of those titled 'Dr' on the list we're talking of! At least the advice from Dr Seuss'd be in rhyme and entertaining ...No Dr Who, Dr Seuss or Dr No either

Have you checked those all names for actually being against the vaccinations or copy and pasted a list you found on a social media post ?

Our PM is completely amoral, unlike the vast majority of medical doctors.
There are of course rogue members of all professions and your list includes many rogue or discredited medics. I'm only surprised Harold Shipman isn't on it.
