      Not problematic or annoying. Provocative, in a good way. Like science is supposed to be.

      And frequently arrogant, condescending, and annoying.

      No more than other very smart and very opinionated people that I follow on Twitter.

      Well, he is decidely different from folks I follow. Incredibly condescending and judgemental long before COVID. To me, he seems to take pride in cutting everything down in a way I find distasteful. There are lots of smart people with opinions out there to follow

      Yep. I generally try to be judgmental and obnoxious only when dealing with those pushing pseudoscience and conspiracy theories, not over run-of-the-mill scientific disagreements. 😂

      To me he is a "smartest guy in the room" type. So very confident in their superiority that the never actually look around the room. And sometimes there are some other extremely smart but far less arrogant people there as well who are actually right.

      As @MarkHoofnagle said, the most irritating thing about him is that he can never admit to being wrong, even when he clearly is wrong and has been shown to be so. It's a tragic flaw, so to speak.

      We’re all flawed. Except me. I’m ok accepting people within 2 standard deviations or so, and I think he’s well within it. Others can and should feel free to disagree! I don’t like seeing people ganged up on - a specialty of Twitter - even if they bring some of it on themselves.

      He is definitely in good company with the many jerks in EBM if that's what you mean. I am actually concerned for his mental health right now, as he doesn't seem to be dealing with any of this well. But can't seem to stop tweeting things that seem designed to get the crowd going

      Well, yes. Peter Gøtzsche and John Ioannidis come to mind right now, and Götzsche has even been flirting with antivaxxers.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/02/25/peter-gotzsche/ …

          Unfortunately the list is long. The field has some of the most thoughtful and kind folk in medicine. Unfortunately it also attracts folk that seem to find joy in judging everyone and everything else in the world wanting. While displaying their scintillating intellect of course
