I love twitter bc where else can I, an person with two graduate degrees from Harvard in both infectious disease epidemiology and biostatistics, be assured I am wrong about infectious disease epi and statistics by a software engineer who has “read multiple FDA package inserts”
Microblogging services like Xwitter were once great because they had the ultimate bullshit filter: limiting the amount of characters to 140

Auf verschiedenen Social-Media-Kanälen kursiert das Gerücht, dass im Einsatz gestern in #Neukölln ein 13-Jähriger ums Leben gekommen sei.
Das ist ein #Fake.
➡️#Faktencheck
Ja, unsere Kolleginnen und Kollegen waren gestern in #Neukölln im Einsatz.
Ja, sie wurden u.a. mit Steinen, Pyro und brennbaren Flüssigkeiten angegriffen.
Ja, sie haben Tatverdächtige festgenommen.
Ja, bei den Festnahmen kam es zu Widerständen.
Ja, zum Brechen des Widerstandes mussten sie körperliche Gewalt anwenden.
Ja, dabei kam es auch zu Verletzungen bei Tatverdächtigen und Angreifern.
Niemand ist deshalb gestern verstorben.
Wir wissen, dass momentan viele Menschen emotionalisiert sind. Aber #FakeNews sind gefährlich - und führen im schlimmsten Fall zu Gewalt.
