This claim about mask efficacy is disputed.

[By me, at a minimum, In March of 2020. Against Twitter policy of not contradicting health experts and risking my account.] https://twitter.com/surgeon_general/status/1233725785283932160

Why are we pretending that our authorities are authorities? That our experts are experts? Why are we listening to @vijaya, @realDonaldTrump, @WHO, @Twitter, @DrAnthonyF, @SpeakerPelosi, @BilldeBlasio, @MayorOfLA, @GavinNewsom.

Who made people who can’t think straight, the elite?

Here is my question: why am I and others like me forced to worry about how @twitter, @vijaya, @Facebook, @sundarpichai, @Google, etc. feel when they get up in the morning? No one elected this class of overlords.

We need a tech form of “academic freedom” for who get things right.

I am watching people who have never both had and expressed a single correct independent thought in their life with their hands around the throat of everyone who has risked his/her reputation in public to get things right.

Why are these people our gatekeepers? This is madness.

Sir: Why do you have a job while I fear for the ability to remain employed and continue to have a social media account???? Who are you? Do you have magical qualifications? If so: what are they that allowed you to *directly* contradict your earlier equal confident pronouncement? https://twitter.com/surgeon_general/status/1278678920003493888
