SCIENTISTS. STOP FUCKING DOING THIS. This is a speculative study that shows something is *possible* It hasn’t been studied in real patients. Why are you releasing this ? Does it serve a purpose? What could the negative impacts be? Basically: STFU until you’re past peer review.https://twitter.com/FinancialTimes/status/1272608830002774016 …
it's not an announcement from WHO, which specifically has the job of informing people of the difference between asymptomatic and presymptomatic it's specifically said that it's the *first* direct *evidence* that *could* infect the brain, the headline is epistemically valid.

and again *evidence* of first cases in august vs *proof* it's a vast gulf epistemically.

maybe i'm a hold out for / from an internet that tries to communicate epistemically correct things and or possible things and or jokes and it's basically understood that you have to figure it out. somehow, we have to communicate. not a fan of censorship or self censorship

The public don’t give a shit about ‘epistemically valid’. Most people won’t even read past the headline. It’s reckless and short sighted. Buuut what do I know, it’s only something I’ve studied in depth

not trying to upset you. all media is like this. it's a shitty system. but i think it's an extra and complicating burden to have to moderate yourself for how you will be misunderstood. a near majority of the public believes the coronavirus was a hoax. believes darwin is a hoax.
