   @glightly I don’t think he actually engages here. He may even just be crossposting directly from Xitter. Sadly I doubt he will see this.

     It's been pointed out over & over to Eric Topol that he's posting information inaccessibly - without alt text & image description. Given that he's trying to inform about urgent public health issues, it is that much more important that it be done accessibly.

     Not once has he responded by starting to put alt text in his images. At this point it's a choice rather than an oversight. That is #Ableism

     Please choose accessible communicators to boost. #COVID

     Toni :mastodon: repeated this.
