Finished drafting my oped, coming soon

Thesis: If u r 14 days after dose 2 vaccine & asymptomatic, you can (and should!) relax some restrictions. That's why we get vaccines and data support it, as I will detail.

But first a meta point
[thread]

Twitter is a cesspool-- we all know that. Every one of us increasingly sees it; many folks go quiet-- I am migrating soon to a new private account @therealvinaypr1 so

But that doesn't bother me; here is what bothers me

People with blue check marks or fellow academics who use incendiary rhetoric

Already I see some claiming that my position is "dangerous" "harmful" "not smart" etc. Or engage in the tired sport of what gives me a right to have an opinion.

yawn

And why it is so difficult to grasp that even people who disagree with you are motivated to maximize the good-- they just conceptualize that differently, or weigh evidence differently

amazing, folks do not see that, & continue their silly comments

It's the academics (or former ones) who r the problem. Get too angry when encountering ideas that deviate from theirs, & don't realize this a cesspool of malicious actors and anonymous accounts.

Your intolerance to a range of ideas both poisons the academy and online forums

I will continue to make some ideas available on this open account, but the good ones will be on the other account.

You can now return to your fear-mongering and looking for a villain, and trying to return to cable tv
