Agree with all points above. Important to mention alongside that masks alone cannot and should not replace social distancing and hand hygiene, but can be helpful if used together!

.@lexfridman blocked me when I questioned him about ethics of publicizing his work on Tesla auto pilot without peer review. He is not ethical and I am sad that you partnered with him

I often block people - not necessarily for any reason other than lack of emotional energy; I'm not sure that's inappropriate. I recommend people block liberally - otherwise twitter can be exhausting!

And I think the traditional peer review process is awful gate-keeping.

I am sorely disappointed at this response and complete lack of empathy or any respect for peer review. I find this awful. There is a lot of fake news around #covid now. We need experts in charge whether it is covid or #AI Disappointed and sad to see bullying being accepted here

I'd love to see a more thoughtful attempt to listen and engage with the issues rather than an outright rejection without any attempt to understand. Supporting the gatekeeping status quo is bad for science, at a time when we need to be improving our processes.

It's fine for people like you with very high status backgrounds. But most people don't have that.

These are stressful times. I respect public service you are doing by talking about face masks. Twitter is not great for nuances. I urge u to not call me as high status. In many ways, I am marginalized in #tech Peer review stops fake news. It is not just for high status people.
