      Influencer case study: how Monica Gandhi, often casting herself as rebel speaking truth, fuels conspiracy/COVID sci skeptic types... Screenshot here to avoid her Stans, but see replies to this/her other tweets--unlike replies to other public MDs/Scientists (eg, Hotez, Rasmussen).pic.twitter.com/39QLAh6DSY

      Screenshot of Dr. Monica Gandhi tweet where she portrays herself as knowledgeable person that the establishment science community is not listening to when claiming sci community and decision-makers not including people previously (naturally) infected with COVID in predictions of COVID vaccination uptake rates.

      I heard her on the slate podcast "What Next" yesterday and while I understand the idea of "positivity" to promote vaccination it seems bad for someone from SF to act as if places like GA and Alabama just don't exist - or maybe don't matter?

      Yes, she does come off in interviews as a bit out of touch (sheltered, privileged?), often citing SF or her local area as an example, as if every place in the US just like there.

      She strikes me as totally out of touch.

          I am San Francisco-adjacent (San Mateo County) and not-a-health-care person, and her clueless about conditions elsewhere has been a klaxon for weeks if not months.

          To me, Dr. Gandhi seems more in touch with the average person's outlook than most public communicators. She shows a level of empathy for the extent to which most people miss in-person activities and other aspects of normal life, that many don't.

          On the contrary, it is those who casually advocate for keeping social distancing or other restrictions in place "indefinitely" that seem out of touch. It's like they don't understand just how grating and utterly demotivating such suggestions are for people.
