Columbia professor and NYT writer, Zeynep Tufekci, commits reputational seppuku instead of accepting the reality before her

What an empty and pathetic display of tribal fealty. These aren’t hermited teenagers in their mom's basement, though. These are college professors, pretenda-journalists at our most vital outlets, the elite-sect constantly painted as our “experts” and The Anointed. And yet, they're revealing themselves as nothing more than petulant brats, blind and rabid.

Read this thread below. What a disgrace. This is middle-school lunchroom bullshit. Gross. I don’t know how a mind in this state even sleeps at night. My guess is, not very well.

It’s true Scott is on Pfizer’s board and ex head of FDA. I was *very* wary. I didn’t expect to find him to be so informative and balanced. But he was. Among first to advocate for masks. Balanced on vaccines. Musk has him personally targeted by one of Pandemic’s worst grifters. https://t.co/Nn3sVg2p1y

🧵In the past, I've raised concerns with Twitter related to the safety of me and others, and threats being made on the platform. This included direct as well as specific threats. Sometimes it included statements that I believed were purposely false and inflammatory 👇
