    Monday thought: If an uninformed person started posting incorrect takes about, say, baseball, Sports Twitter would rip them to shreds. And if a cable channel invited the person on, its site would be crashed forever. Weird how that doesn't work for epidemiology.

        Or climate change. Or nutrition & health (misinformation gets a Netflix show there 🤔). Or energy. Or oceans. Or.... science in general

        Stephen A. Smith and several others suggest the worst opinions are just relabeled “hot takes” and become legitimized mainstream voices. This folly is universal

        The only thing that’s gotten a sports commentator removed from the mainstream is criticism of the president.

        LOL. Did you miss the back and forth on Kobe Bryant's rape case earlier this year? And climate change is not controversial? The world is nutso right now. The lack of embrace of immunization is an example of how our educational system has failed to generate respect for science.
