Look at the last tweet in that thread too. Bringing up bacteria... ANYBODY with a little bit of knowledge would look atthat and say "wait, what, he doesn't even understand the basics"?Unreal. I really respect Marc a lot - as in, a lot. But this is uninformed and naive. [shared file(s): Screen Shot2021-05-25 at 7.19.25 PM.png]
