      1/ I have counseled patients on: - why they need to keep taking their tuberculosis antibiotics for months - why they need to get tested for HIV or sexually transmitted infections - why they should take pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV or antiretroviral therapyhttps://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1382341575183888387 …

      What I don't understand. The issue isn't whether a "Nate Silver" [insert pundit you like/don't like] opines or not. The key difference is that a few gatekeepers absolutely DO NOT control how this plays out anymore. That's the context to consider. Why aren't we focusing on that? https://twitter.com/celinegounder/status/1382299663269761024 …

      2/ I have worked throughout sub-Saharan Africa and spoken with religious leaders, teachers, community health workers, youth, journalists, activists, and politicians. e.g. why didn't Guineans & other West Africans think Ebola wasn't real? Because they didn't trust the government.

      3/ Analytic methods only take you so far. The math we use in epidemiology and economics, for example, is essentially the same. What's different is an understanding of the context, and that comes with experience on the ground, working with people.

      4/ What works best in building vaccine confidence? Being honest and proving yourself trustworthy. Listening to people and answering their questions. Then asking for permission to offer information.

      I hope it was clear that I did not suggest AT ALL that you should not comment on societal dynamics, especially in the context of the digital public sphere, because that's not your expertise or area of study. My comment was about the news anchor focusing on Silver, of all things.

          It was clear. Celine is trying to change the subject.

          I hope this gatekeeping and goalpost moving of a topic that can clearly involve commentary from many experts in related fields stops, soon. But I don’t think it will
