It's wrong to assume scientists live in their own academic bubble, far above peer pressure, social conditioning, politics, and other mainstream influence groups. Twitter limiting free exchange of ideas on COVID-19 hurt the scientific process by manufacturing consensus for everyone.
It's wrong to assume twitter is the real opinion of any group threatened with being black listed from their industry if they publicly state something twitter disagrees with.
excellent post, being a 'scientist' doesnt necessarily free one from bias, or political agenda pushing. And that came out in spades throughout the pandemic.
