Which has led to a lot of misrepresentation of his expertise, which is the exact problem under discussion. I asked him to acknowledge his lack of expertise in infect disease in the twitter thread he was snitch-tagged into of mine, & he refused to do so.

Of course. Just make sure the public knows that it is an academic conversation and does not effect the recommended precautions. That way everyone wins.
