I followed Eric Feigl-Ding @DrEricDing early on since he was a nutritionist and was expecting him to give tips on how to help your immune system during these trying times. Interesting enough that was exactly what did NOT happen. I found a politician disguised as a “scientist”.
2) If he was challenged he almost never would reply - obvious early on it was a one way conversation with him fear mongering and pushing an left leaning agenda. It was a bit more subtle in the beginning - now obvious. Anything posted was to support this agenda not foster science.
3)
“Everyone is very frustrated with him and regretting that we didn’t band together to discredit him,” said one epidemiologist. Another called him a “guy with zero background” in infectious-disease research who is “spouting a bunch of half-truths.” https://www.chronicle.com/article/this-harvard-epidemiologist-is-very-popular-on-twitter-but-does-he-know-what-hes-talking-about/

4) Eric is not an MD and does not have an infectious disease background. I appreciate @mlipsitch having the courage to step up and do the right thing by calling out a charlatan 
part of the thread mentioned was deleted - Eric deletes tweets he gets called out on https://twitter.com/mlipsitch/status/1240846136589660165

5) Does he have an “impressive” academic background, yes. I have never questioned that. But he is not an MD and does not have a infectious disease background.
He was a Paul and Daisy Soros Fellow, and a World Economic Forum Global Shaper-impressive to some concerning to me.

6). When he unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 2018 he was funded by the Soros family. His catch phrase in the add was about taking Trump down- shocking 
”and right now we need to fight Donald Trump for all our families,” Ding says in the ad. https://www.politicspa.com/ding-launches-first-ad-in-pa-10-primary/87317/

7) He is now associated with FAS, which is supposed to be non-partisan, but that is not the case. The only “facts” they present are ones that are pro-Biden, anti-Trump. Regardless of where you learn politically this should concern you. They are censoring information.
8) a few other scientists have called him out as a dangerous charlatan
. @angie_rasmussen who is a Virologist at Columbia.
She agrees with me that he is harmful - that is why I used to comment on his threads so others realized he was only presenting one sided information. https://twitter.com/angie_rasmussen/status/1250240307037233153

9) . @EpiEllie called him out as well - she is an Epidemiology assistant prof @BUSPH https://twitter.com/epiellie/status/1275184049825484800
10) and back to Dr. Rasmussen - this was pretty harsh by Eric https://twitter.com/angie_rasmussen/status/1289192998241067008
11) Dr. Popescu has been critical of him - she has some pretty impressive creds as well 
Just one sample tweet from . @SaskiaPopescu https://twitter.com/saskiapopescu/status/1243188352976732162
Just one sample tweet from . @SaskiaPopescu https://twitter.com/saskiapopescu/status/1243188352976732162
12) others have seen through him, such as el gato mail . @boriquagato https://twitter.com/boriquagato/status/1312900435641012225
13) Some think he is just here for the click-bait high. I have felt there is more of an agenda. It is Soros backed? Maybe CCP backed? If you look at comments in the threads some think so.
The following thread is so well done - read from the beginning . @MichaelPSenger https://twitter.com/michaelpsenger/status/1299761684190564352

14) so we know he was a Soros fellow, the Soros family funded his Congressional campaign and he is a World Economic Forum Global Shaper. Plus he has WHO and UN ties.
As far as potential CCP links, well I have no evidence of that.
BUT Harvard is the epicenter of CCP in the US. https://twitter.com/hairavril/status/1280901159885160448

15) He appeared on CGTN ( which is the global mouthpiece of the CCP) early on and was very critical of the early response of the US https://newsus.cgtn.com/news/2020-03-20/Dr-Eric-Feigl-Ding-discusses-coronavirus-testing-in-the-United-States-P067Crw6ac/index.html
16) China’s issues early on were not criticizing by Eric. He referred to them as “missteps”.
Check out the comments section in YouTube - very telling that others found this interview “odd” - I know I did.

17) A few more in academia that have called him out -
Florian Krammer . @florian_krammer (Professor at the Department of Microbiology Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai) https://twitter.com/florian_krammer/status/1248043917939036162?s=20

18). The MeidasTouch add that he was in that debuted on 9/11 where he states he is voting for Biden. https://twitter.com/MeidasTouch/status/1304598547807911936?s=20
19). He had this as his pinned tweet for a while (thanks to @BrooksWalsh) for saving the screen print. He was ranked the #2 COVID expert right behind Dr. Tedros from WHO - ranking was based on tweets

20) Prof Francois Balloux @BallouxFrancois has been critical of him as well: https://twitter.com/BallouxFrancois/status/1272272060274880517?s=20
21). Martin Kulldorf . @MartinKulldorff (Professor Harvard Medical School. Disease surveillance methods. Infectious disease outbreaks.) has been respectfully critical as well: https://twitter.com/MartinKulldorff/status/1304027806066774016?s=20
22). another ad Eric did for Biden by FF PAC (futureforwardusa) the dark money PAC funded in part by former Alphabet and Google executive Eric Schmidt and Dustin Moskovitz (facebook) donated a million.
23). A thread by Dr. Krutika Kuppalli . @KrutikaKuppalli thread calling out his questionable use of data and how it leads to confusion. https://twitter.com/KrutikaKuppalli/status/1292193931791196163?s=20
24). This is when he advocated for compassionate use of vaccines. Many in the medical field commented on this one. He first deleted and replaced some later bullet points, then deleted it. Some remants of thread here:

25) another Dr. calling Eric out
Dr. Urso @richardursomd https://twitter.com/richardursomd/status/1319281990701445122?s=19
Dr. Urso @richardursomd https://twitter.com/richardursomd/status/1319281990701445122?s=19
26) Heather Lander (PhD, Writer-Virologist. Expertise in arenavirus pathogenesis) . @PathogenScribe calls him out as well - you can see others did as well early on in this thread https://twitter.com/PathogenScribe/status/1248803674232688645
27). He took a pic in Trust Fauci masks and linked to site to buy it.
“No personal profit. Part of proceeds go to fighting for public health justice to help end the pandemic”
Health Justice for All is only listing $ being paid to candidates?

27b) so if he was getting $5 per mask sold to fight “for public health justice to help end the pandemic” and only payments made so far were to candidates maybe he just thought it was not important yet to help end the pandemic
