To the people on twitter mad that @antonioregalado wrote a profile of me: I'm not asking anyone to do profiles of me. People around me consistently advise me not to agree to interviews and especially profiles because you have no idea what journalists are going to quote/write.
Journalists don't show you the piece before it is published. You can't tell them what to write or how to frame your quotes. I've gotten in trouble again & again.
Even up to the day before the profile was published, I was still worried that I would be portrayed as a conspiracist.

Thankfully that didn't happen. @antonioregalado was objective. He didn't let me get away with anything in the interrogation & got lots of quotes from scientists who disagree with me (scientifically &/or personally). The profile made me think about my missteps & how to do better.
@antonioregalado If I can be frank, many of the criticisms of the profile I've seen mainly come down to "Why do journalists want to profile Alina instead of XX?"
I'm not in control of that. I don't decide for the journalist who they want to write a profile of and what the profile looks like.
