      Appalled by attack on @sailorrooscout, but didn’t want to inflame. Given originated from my quote tweet of Chise’s thread on variants & 💉 efficacy, should respond. Chise’s informative input & incredible optimism is reflective of great things about platform. Attack the opposite.https://twitter.com/GregDore2/status/1394391637854326788 …

      Together w/ news B.1.617 (🇮🇳 origin) may or may not have ⬆️ transmission efficiency, data indicating vaccines should remain highly effective. So, probably less scariant than initially thought. https://twitter.com/sailorrooscout/status/1394253195279470593 …

      Chise is a hypocrite who blocks anyone who asks inconvenient questions. Hides under a fake name but speaks with an apparent agenda. A kind of Sikora of the pharma world. Not my cup of tea ☕️

      Tbh I don't really care. Gatekeeping shouldn't be a part of academic discussions - if it is, we are debating politics, not science

      I don't agree with credentialism and gatekeeping either- so worth putting this out there. This is what Chise said about my expertise, without me having engaged with her here. She's also made several false claims about me, without correction even when disproven with facts.pic.twitter.com/Sqbx8lcOeQ

          I'm not trying to pile on. I leave this account alone, but they have been engaged in revisionism for the azn for quite a while. we will see how the azn gets on when aus opens its borders and in the uk with b1617.2pic.twitter.com/Ghqwoo1itw

          The gatekeeping is wrong. You've been fantastic at supporting against such attacks, and a class act when finding yourself in that position. I've criticised the Chise account elsewhere, but FWIW only based on interactions with Deepti, not supporting any gatekeeping.

          Looks like this turned ugly on several sides. Pity that it feels like some of the followers had to get dragged into this though. I got blocked by Dr Hyde, for just commenting that I don't approve of people just looking purely at credentials especially if it's the difference...

          between Master's and PhD. But I think it is clear that @sailorrooscout also got personal at times. Can I ask everyone to stop this and stick to factual debate and leave personal attacks out of it? On behalf of us that like to still get access to just the facts.
