I worked with—and deeply admired—Helen for almost 30 years. She was hands down *the best source* about emerging infectious diseases that I've ever known. My first warning of COVID was when on Dec 28, 2019 she reposted a ProMED mail report of an atypical pneumonia cluster: "This doesn't look good."

Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.

I don't know what it is that bothers him about stealth aircraft - this is from 2 years ago. It's like he originally thought they were actually invisible and then when he realized they weren't, is going all in to disparage them to redirect his embarrassment.
Elon Musk tweet from 11-24-2024:
It is laughably easy to take down fighter jets. "Stealth" means nothing if you use elementary AI with low light sensitivity cameras. They aren't invisible.
