Thank you for a clear and considered article, which is also very reassuring. Extra points for a well-placed use of ‘kerfuffle’ 😁

Thank you for this, it was very clear and understandable to a science thicko (me) which is very often not the case. And when it isn't the case, and people use massive amounts of scientific jargon, it's very easy to get the wrong end of the stick and freak out. I've been upset to see a number of good commentators on twitter say they're giving up because they're sick of some of the hassle they get in return for their time offering explanations to debunk some of the wild stuff out there. I hope enough of them stay - it really does make a difference. I doubt I'm alone, but some of the scaremongering has really had an impact on my mental health and I've just about had enough of it, so thank you so much for this!
