I haven’t been active on Twitter long & I’m pretty horrified at the name calling and personal attacks that scientists/experts are subject to…often from other scientists/experts. We all care about the same things: health and well-being. Can’t we be respectful?

We published this piece last week as a suggested way forward. We have been called “white supremacists”, “death cultists” and “eugenicists”. We are doctors and mothers. This has to stop. @ElissaPerkins @BranchWestyn

Please…before you attack next time, try to open your mind to others’ opinions and thought processes. Give people the benefit of the doubt. I promise to do the same. End.

@ShiraDoronMD @Theo_TJ_Jordan The point of universal mask mandates was a shortage of n95s: have everyone wear a cloth mask and hope that the filtering on both exhale and inhale does something.
