He's not just tweeting about Richard Horton; It seems Sharpe got up this morning and decided that being patronising to random people using the #PACEtrial hashtag was a productive use of his day:

The Streisand effect at work.

Searching for news on this I then found:

Horton just says the things it would be impressive to believe, but then fails to back them up. Who could be stupid enough to be impressed by him?

It's remarkable to have a reality where there is a global anti-vaccination crisis, caused in large part by this guy, being discussed at the WHO, who then also award the same guy for his role in public health.

By remarkable I mean it's completely absurd, of course.

You can always count on Sharpe to come out whining. He whines and whines and whines.

Remarkably fragile ego.

Does Sharpe not see any danger in this approach. People may make inferences from what he says.

He's not too good on the self-reflection department. Or any department, actually.

Anyone not blocked by Sharpe up for a Streisand-effect bait and make a few #PACEtrial tweets?

Is anyone here not blocked by Sharpe, though?

The most ironic/passive-aggressive use of kind regards I've ever seen!

It's up there with
