      Folks, please please stop retweeting this person. It's a mix of correct with wrong and that's a very dangerous mix because everything is presented in the most sensationalist possible manner. Making this go viral is very dangerous. (Yet another tweet he had to delete).pic.twitter.com/rShbqtElzf

      There is a lot of preprints, rushed articles, new findings and questions. Everyone's getting stuff wrong: that's the nature of such a fast-moving evolving moment. But the careful experts are talking things through best they can, not rushing to 🚨🚨🚨🚨‼️‼️ tweets on everything.

      I'm not begrudging anyone getting stuff wrong. My co-authors have a correction of math to an annals paper; the JAMA findings were presented weirdly. Life. But he has no brakes, no controls nor real expertise. TONS OF GOOD FOLKS ARE ALREADY ON TWITTER. Let's find and retweet them.

      Not a minor issue, we had the NJ governor "consult" with him. He may mean well. I have no idea. But he's just not stopping and looking around; he's rushing to tweet in the most sensationalist way possible and is often wrong. Dangerous combination because of veneer of credibility.

      zeynep tufekci Retweeted Xinhua Man of the Year Balding 大老板

      Yes, lots of errors by media, too. Similar wrong incentives/lack of expertise/not waiting. Hopefully governor of NJ is not consulting with the Washington Post. Really need to get reporters with more expertise/urge waiting/check around/chill on headlines.https://twitter.com/BaldingsWorld/status/1253337947027288074 …

          I'll just put this here. I'm not being mean to one person; it's the veneer of credibility with reasonable information some of the time and absolute nonsense some of the time that's so dangerous. Very hard to separate the two for regular people.https://www.chronicle.com/article/This-Harvard-Epidemiologist-Is/248557 …
