Looks like the conflicts of understanding among scientists is finally bubbling into the public discourse.

>talkRADIO's Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by Professors Paul Elliott and Anthony Brooks, who have conflicting views over coronavirus immunity.

Debate amongst scientists on emerging topics that don't have overwhelming consensus are common. What's not common though is when there is also a significant mainstream political debate on the same topic, and conspiracists agitating things. It's going to get nasty and fascinating.

It's still very bizarre to me though how two studies showing the same thing by different researchers have resulted in completely different spin and media coverage. The noise is going to very difficult to filter out. https://twitter.com/musalbas/status/1321224236531437569

I hope that some anthropologist or sociologist is documenting all of this; it's going to very important to learn lessons from this.

I don't have any particular opinion about how society should deal with coronavirus. However, I've been closely following the discourse among reputable scientists, the public, and the media around the scientific facts around Covid-19 with awe and disbelief. https://twitter.com/BallouxFrancois/status/1317222532001443840
