You’re not wrong. On the one hand it’s great to have a public forum for science, on the other I’ve learned I can’t vet it at all, so I should wait until they get farther along before reacting at all. After all, Twitter has predicted 45 of the last 2 consequential variants. As an individual that’s fine. As a society, we’ve got you and me who’ve learned to hold back, friends and alarmists who react to every signal to their own detriment and risk drowning out the real message, and we’ve got disillusioned trolls who cherry-pick the noise to “prove” scientists aren’t trustworthy. I don’t know if it’s possible to have the open conversation while cooling off the side effects.
