      Carl T. Bergstrom Retweeted Vinay Prasad, MD MPH  🎙️ 📷

      A year ago Vinay wrote an oped accusing me of "silencing" an endowed chair at Stanford—as he did the cable news circuit. After a year of receiving death threats, I'm genuinely curious who these ID docs and epi experts are who unwilling to even risk being called assholes.https://twitter.com/VPrasadMDMPH/status/1372992248577597442 …

      5. I admire her for being thoughtful and brave. The twitter mob has just silenced dozens of ID docs and epi experts I know who agree with her. Enjoy these 3 weeks b/c after the sentiment will shift against you. 🤣

      Yes I really do wonder who Vinay imagines has been silenced. As far as I can tell, the examples he chooses are people with enormous, global reach, which makes the argument about silencing sound...poorly thought out

          Cannot abide the lazy equation of criticism as ‘silencing’. Yet to see an example where such a claim isn’t nakedly partisan and in reality means ‘I agree with person x so how dare person y take issue with them?’

          o rly? Retweeted Prof Norman Fenton

          Here’s a classic example: group puts out a report, which happened to contain some rank antivax nonsense. They are criticised for the report on that basis. According to a spokesman for said group, they are being ‘silenced’ Aren’t they just being debated?https://twitter.com/profnfenton/status/1374173611309867012?s=21 …

          I’ll take it as a compliment that I was one of 3 specifically named academics in the Times hit-piece about the HART report on lockdowns because I was “Among the 41 academics named in its foreword”. The establishment really wants to silence any debate. Here’s the HART response. https://twitter.com/hartgroup_org/status/1374101509533806619 …

          Poor Ioannadis can barely appear on Fox News before millions and millions of viewers. Vinay is confusing widespread legitimate criticism with "silencing". Note: I have no idea what exactly Vinay is arguing since he blocked me. I'm imputing from other comments.

          The silence is frankly deafening enough I had to mute it.
