      Yes, definitely better but still convoluted. Direct phrasing is better, and a correction cannot be whispered. The frustration is how long it took to get even here I’ve literally been in meetings with them where similar language had been proposed as phrasing. LONG AGO.

      It is progress but also gaslighting that they've said it all along. I was on the meeting where the @WHO experts yelled at us for suggesting airborne, and told us instead to "wash our hands fanatically".

      I get the sense that you’re somehow disappointed that they aren’t still insisting it’s droplets and hand washing. That you’d be happier and feel more important if they were still “gaslighting”. Again, the sanctimony is rich in the air.

      They ARE still gaslighting. And the real problem is that it communicates that no big changes in mitigations are needed since "it is the same they said all along"

      Okay I have no idea what this dig was about so I looked. It’s 132!!! I don’t care as much about these things, but that is incredible for someone not even near retirement. Jeremy, honestly, thank you. I really had no idea.pic.twitter.com/5WWiWC2mHg

      Clearly you’re an h-index fangirl. What was Kati Kariko’s in 2018? What does it really mean? I’m sorry but I actually couldn’t care less.

      *You* brought it up. I thought it was some weakness or something? You used it like a dig, so I checked. Before you mentioned it, I didn’t care to the degree I had no idea, despite collaborating with him for a long time. How dare he have a high H-index?  😂

      I’m mocking that he is literally so arrogant he put it in his Twitter bio.. something others have pointed out. SMH.
