    Come on @jack, it's not like we're asking for an edit button or something. All we want is some medical experts to get blue checks. It will take you guys 5 minutes.https://twitter.com/JenSeniorNY/status/1240738833752342528 …

    Hey, @jack: Is there a reason why esteemed epidemiologists and contagion experts and virologists like @NAChristakis, @mlipsitch, @trvrb, and @florian_krammer aren't verified, while verified kooks are still spreading misinformation? They're indispensable voices right now. Thanks.

        Blue checks are actually a type of "white-listing" (or black listing?).

        I get where you're going with this but the "wisdom of the mob" should be avoided. Between the bots and people ranking solely based on personal prejudices, social authority is likely to be worse than the existing system.

        @jack let's perhaps instead get a blue check equivalent *only for medical experts*.

        Or even better: green checks. A lot of blue checks are also spreading misinformation.
