Ram Bala @Twitter I’m good. Twitter Verified is a sham. It is in no way a solution to the pervasive identity problems on this and all other digital platforms. I don’t want a check for me. I want someone to come up with a trustworthy solution that is open to every real person.

Here we go: If Offit truly cares about the cost versus benefit of a vax, why hasn't he done a cost-benefit analysis? Why does a journalist quote him without demanding numbers? Good science relies on quantification, not hunches and hand-wringing. science.org/content/articl…

Another indication of the sad state of X/Twitter: Someone using the handle Paul Romer (notice the "s" at the end) is pretending to be me, reposting many of my old posts. Don't be fooled. Better yet, don't use X/Twitter. I stopped last year and it's been great.
