      I hope we are not so fragile that we cannot hear and consider the point of view of folks who disagree with us slightly. Here is my actual position, which you mischaractize. Be well! https://www.medpagetoday.com/blogs/vinay-prasad/90764 …

      Oddly enough, I quite like your article and mostly agree. The end is particularly good. The tweet, however, was a bad take and imo detracts substantially from your actual message

      good thing you excerpted it out of context, and didn't link to it, and didn't allow your followers to see the third tweet in the series that explains it Of course, that must be new behavior for you :)

      Here's a thought - I'll delete my dumb tweet and cheerfully apologize if you delete yours. Then the entire discourse on twitter will be improved and we can both move on

      You know what, why make a deal. I'm sorry about the tweet, it was childish and unnecessary and really more about other things than this particular article, which I think is quite useful for the vaccine discourse

          I liked the tweet @GidMK. It was intended in humour, responding to someone who called others "fragile". It cut through with an important point - contrarianism from prominent scientists on twitter really is a big issue and one that potentially reduces public trust in science.

          Regardless of the scientific arguments a significant problem is how would you prevent the unvaccinated throwing away their masks too? No easy way to tell the groups apart. So this would undermine mask wearing laws. An unspoken motivation for the argument perhaps.
