      People don’t want to hear this, but Chinese official sources have been doing this, too—pretty much openly. (I don’t mean asking reasonable questions.) A terrible front in information warfare.https://twitter.com/dnvolz/status/1368581656349732864 …

      New: Russian intelligence agencies have mounted a campaign to undermine confidence in Pfizer and other Covid vaccines using online front publications that in recent months have questioned their development and safety, U.S. officials said. w/ @mgordonwsj https://www.wsj.com/articles/russian-disinformation-campaign-aims-to-undermine-confidence-in-pfizer-other-covid-19-vaccines-u-s-officials-say-11615129200 …

      Also next up: if you ask any questions about Sputnik or Sinovac vaccines, the accusation will be that we’re doing the same: undermining confidence. In reality the transparencies aren’t asymmetric and there *are* questions to be asked. Pushing for equal transparency is good.

      Well, right on cue. It’s perfectly fine to ask questions and ask for transparency when there are questions and lack of transparency. It’s not fine to make up stuff for political purposes. Science—civilization—depends on separating the two.https://twitter.com/TangoLow/status/1368588258620411906 …

      Haven't we done the same re Sputnik V?

      Eek, yes. Sorry, typo. Asking for transparency and data is fine. We should hold all vaccines to the same, high standard.https://twitter.com/imjeremyfuckoff/status/1368591948488060930 …

      I think you mean the transparencies *are* asymmetric, unless I'm misunderstanding your point

          Anyway. Building and defending trustworthy institutions is the key. That’s the only thing that can get us out of this spiral.
