    I've gained a lot of new followers this year, so I think it's worthwhile asking: why did you start following me?

        Toby Young has rather destroyed the credibility boosting potential of shiny heads forever :-(

        Definitely started b/c Covid-19; stayed for all of the above.

        To be specific, it wasn't just COVID-19 for me, but your rigorous treatment of medical publications on the topic and demonstrations of critical/rational interpretations thereof. Also a big fan of shiny heads, but that's only slightly further down my list of priorities.

        Just started following you a few minutes ago because your thread contained nuanced thinking about data—something rare these days.

        Re: "i was sent your way by personal recommendation of @AtomsksSanakan Feel free to share far + wide 🙂 Denialism of vaccination, AIDS, + evolution were my interests before climate science denialism. So COVID-19 denialism is kinda nostalgic for me.https://twitter.com/AtomsksSanakan/status/1318749542129467392 …
