This post is just to alert readers that I am finding myself active on the new substack notes platform. Follow me there, if the current sparse output at Unglossed has left a void in your soul. Yesterday I posted a curt review of Raoult et al.’s update on hydroxychloroquine plus azithromycin early treatment in Marseille:
(If you click through on this note, it should expand to my other comments, theoretically.)
Content here has slowed for the same reason as other Covid-vaccine-skeptic substacks have reduced output; revelations regarding the virus and the vaccines have entered a more boring, protracted phase. This is wonderful as far as tackling older, unresolved controversies, but those same projects take more work, which must still be multitasked to some extent with core research, study reviewing, and personal life.
So, the arrival of notes is a fortunate accident to help keep the reader in tune with those other projects.
As always, thanks for subscribing to Unglossed!
I admit I was dismayed when I logged in after lent, to find fifty or so "notices" waiting for me, all to inform me about the new Substack twitter-clone feature... barely a week after I had deleted my twitter account because I found, on the balance, that it was a drag on my life and well-being.

Hah. When I first saw that new Notes thing, I thought: "really? MORE emails, for smaller stuff?", which was greeted by a flood of mails saying "Yo, you won't believe it, but I'm on Notes, too!"
I kept my trap shut until now, not wanting to be the negative guy again, but ... I'm still skeptical as to whether that thing is such a great idea :D
Now seeing you refer to it as Twitter replacement in another comment... I feel flight reflexes tingling
