Many will endure hardships. For me (and committed colleagues), it means the struggle to defend science + counter antiscience forces becomes more complicated/daunting. This time we’ll need better support from the societies, college presidents, elected leaders who care. Tough times

There is a lot of misinformation circulating about #mpox. Your health is precious. Only seek health advice from credible sources including your doctor, WHO or your local health authority. Check the FAQs to know who is at risk & how to protect yourself: https://t.co/EMCaukiTEm

Yesterday I shared this piece by me & 40 colleagues on the harms of the “lab leak” hypothesis inflicts on science & scientists. I’m not finished talking about it. The origins “debate” has consumed my life for >4 years & I want to talk personally about the damage it has caused.
“What is now happening to virology is a stark demonstration of what is happening to all of science. It will come to affect every aspect of science in a negative and possibly a dangerous way, as has already happened with climate science.” -colleagues & me https://t.co/UDdKZhEA3x

In 2021 the antivaccine disinformation machine went into overdrive in time for the delta wave. It was deliberate, predatory, organized by half-dozen or so elected members of U.S. Congress amplified by Fox News and podcasters. It caused the needless deaths of 200,000 Americans
#COVID19 ranked among the top 3 leading causes of death globally in 2020 and 2021, responsible for 13 million lives lost. In most regions of the world, it was among the top 5 causes of death. In the Americas, it was the number 1 cause of death. 📊 https://t.co/59lqz3qPuy
