About Eric Topol
I’m thrilled, thankful, and honored to have you join me for this new set of columns. We’ve been on a long, tortuous pandemic path together for nearly two years, and, unfortunately, there’s more to come.
We’re living at a time of peak mis- and disinformation, with blurring of the lines between truths, distortions, and fabrications.
In early 2020, I decided to take on a new added role as a “covidologist” to try and sort out the facts, keep up with the outpouring of new science and medical reports, and provide some analyses. Virtually every day for almost 700 in a row I’ve been posting this stuff on Twitter, along with periodically writing op-eds in various newspapers (NY Times, Washington Post, Guardian), and publishing original Covid research papers with my colleagues at Scripps Research. But, as I’ve learned over and over, Twitter posts are easily misinterpreted and twisted.
