Stopped caring at “increasing Twitter chatter”. Dangerous platform that, needs to be nuked for the good of mankind asap.
If you’d read further the prof was explaining that, whilst worth keeping an eye on, he didn’t think it was likely to turn into a variant of concern.
Like most things Twitter can be used for good or ill.
UK ministers face questions over firm linked to suspected Covid test errors
Immensa’s sister company already being investigated and a related US firm sent out used DNA test kits
Maybe if you read further you’d have seen that his message isn’t dangerous at all. He’s just explaining what is going on. He is trying to cut through the “twitter chatter” and give people actual information. But you’ve gone straight for the “Twitter is [Poor language removed]” rather than reading what he is actually saying
But Twitter is awful regardless of whether what he’s saying is right or not? I wasn’t having a go at him, he’s clearly suggesting that people on Twitter are stirring up crap about a new variant and setting them straight.
Twitter isn’t awful regardless. It’s how you chose to use it. There are loads of terrible people on there of course. But there are loads of brilliant people on there too. I think it’s amazing that we have access to genuine experts in their fields so that we can learn more. We just have to learn to filter out the idiots and pay more attention to the people that are educating us.
I’m not aiming this at you but less Piers Morgan and more John Burn-Murdoch
Perhaps this is a topic for another thread but, whilst I agree there are many elements about Twitter that are unhelpful and dangerous, I also think there is a lot of value there too for the exact same reasons - you have access to a much wider range of sources of information (both geographical and subject wise) than traditional media.
And it isn’t like you are a great fan of traditional media like tv or newspapers either, which reaches far more people overall.
I guess just don’t see what the end point of “nuke twitter” would look like even in the unlikely event it could be achieved.
Good although sadly doubt it will actually result in much.

Is it true that in Israel people who vaccinated only twice are now considered unvaccinated? till they get the third shot they cannot enter venues etc? I couldn't find the proper/reliable info, it may be a right winger camp lie. hopefully it is because it would have been scary.
Know there is always going to be some waste built into any system but given how desperately needed the vaccines are in other countries this level is awful
t.co
US throws out millions of doses of Covid vaccine as world goes wanting
Figures surged over summer as doses expired and vaccinations flagged amid widespread hesitancy
People in Israel and Bahrain are losing their vaccination status for not taking boosters
Israel and Bahrain want eligible residents to take their Covid booster shots — and those who don't do so risk losing privileges for the fully-vaccinated.
As of Oct. 3, Israel changed the criteria for the green pass and shortened its validity. According to a government advisory, the pass will expire six months after a person receives their second dose.
“Anyone who had a green pass and after 3/10 does not meet the new criteria will lose the green pass,” a spokesperson from Israel’s health ministry told CNBC.
A third shot will have to be administered before a new green pass can be issued, at least one week after the booster. That pass will also expire six months after the third dose.

imo, this is grim. I thought I will be done with two doses...hopefully it won't be a trend globally.In Israel, vaccinated people are given a so-called “green pass” that allows them to enter hotels, restaurants and many other indoor venues. People who have recovered from Covid-19 can also be issued a green pass under a different set of guidelines.People in Israel and Bahrain are losing their vaccination status for not taking boosters

Israel is a bit unusual in that they seem to have very limited hospital, especially ICU, capacity
Hence when their case graph rapidly started going upwards the swift action as little margin for error.

So there will be a fourth dose after 6 months? There isn't sufficient evidence to support that much vaccination.
