      I trust @jonst0kes on a lot of things tbh but haven’t seen what he says on Ding. Not everything Ding says is wrong but he has said blatantly wrong things and blocked scientists begging him to correct. Imho we shouldn’t amplify misinformation peddlers. That’s all.

      Ding went from 2K followers to 83K overnight. He has done a handful of Twitter norm violation type things that one doesn't normally do when one has that big of an account. He has also been subjected to some SJW weirdness (one woman accused him of being a sexist creeper b/c...

      ..he DMed her & some others who were smearing him & wanted to talk IRL to work it out.) He's been called a lot of names, & in general there's just a lot of professional jealousy going on, some of it sort of moderately understandable, but still 🙄

      I don’t know any of that! I just saw really bad tweets from him plus him blocking people nicely correcting. That’s what I’m going from. Everyone makes mistakes but it’s the reaction to polite correction that’s telling to me. Turf wars... Sure... They’re always there

      I saw the Bad Tweets too, which were retracted/deleted, but when I saw the name calling & dragging & then I saw who he was blocking, I was like "ok he woke up one morning with a whale Twitter account & he's Doing It Wrong here by whale standards in terms of reacting to dragging."

      Like I said, I find his account useful, & I'm just not seeing anything more than tonal stuff & some Twitter norm violations. He's also airing some of the more dire scenarios & numbers that IMO are a useful antidote to some of the press coverage that won't touch that stuff.

      I find the constant ‘oh stop exaggerating that this disease is a big deal’ far more prevalent than the doomsday types. And there’s far too much faith in the CCP.

      I'm sorry but this is condescending nonsense. We just don't know a lot about the opacity our supply chains or about this disease, but I do know a lot of elites are lying about both the CCP and their handle on the risk factors.

      I’m making fun of myself, Matt. I’m genuinely alarmed enough and actually have a piece coming out soon on some aspects of this.

          Yes well I had a piece out eight years ago about supply chain opacity so forgive me if I'm not sanguine about who was paying attention to risk.https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/how-america-could-collapse/ …
