1627511255786299393 | @sdbaral @rwang0 @united Agree 100%. I was Diamond on Delta and frequented both NRT and PVG. The business class service and meals were legend. And the lie-flat beds 🤌. Almost makes me regret retiring…almost. | 1 |
1627763490097352704 | Great to see important work of @CarrieELyons @sdbaral highlighted by @USAmbPEPFAR during #CROI2023 plenary. Criminalization and of same-sex sexual behavior and HIV is a threat to public health. https://t.co/rzeRUWpcPo | 1 |
1625641028937023490 | @sdbaral @Jabaluck @BallouxFrancois @adsquires @akm5376 Totally. But what Francois was showing in his thread that we are able to make sense of a messy world in some cases. It's a bummer that most interventions turn out to be ineffective, but somethings do work and we can find great evidence for those! | 0 |
1625655696887799809 | @sdbaral @Jabaluck @BallouxFrancois @akm5376 Sorry don’t get me wrong that’s just an expression of the absurdity of the travel restrictions | 0 |

1625647545115344896 | @sdbaral @Jabaluck @BallouxFrancois @akm5376 Right, seems an important point that an 11% reduction may be meaningful early in a peaking pandemic, but not worth the social consequences of attempting to enforce a mandate for marginal risk reduction at this point | 0 |

1626354024588124161 | @sdbaral how bout …. “If a word in a sentence doesn’t contribute, delete it.” (That’s me being cheeky and also my sentence is maybe too pared down but it still works.) | 17 |
1625601152518885376 | @sdbaral @MissCuriousM And I fully agree that proving attribution is not accomplished via tragic anecdote. But ofc this performance is fueling the speculative flames. Interviews are typically done to “set the record straight” and the opposite happened here. And I’m not going to back down from… https://t.co/8498nXZc5k | 13 |
1627381551070576641 | @sdbaral Yes, seems really bad for her to suggest hand sanitizer is “don’t bother.” Sometimes you don’t have running water or a sink available. | 10 |

1627449602315018240 | @ajlamesa @sdbaral The Atlantic’s public health coverage is, to understate the case considerably, not intended for people who lack access to resources. | 8 |
1627478806456942592 | @sdbaral I've heard it's the most studied virus ever. Imagine we put this much effort into eliminating poverty .... | 7 |
1624364917510864896 | @sdbaral @KHamilt22787129 Goodness Really It Failed To launch | 7 |
1625610227143036930 | @sdbaral @MissCuriousM No, ofc. I didn’t mean to insinuate you did. I’ve thought about this one long & hard & I will keep thinking about it. When I’m driven to push it’s usually because I foresee people getting hurt. And as always I appreciate your thoughtful contributions to any discussion.😌🙏 | 6 |
