SCIENTISTS. STOP FUCKING DOING THIS. This is a speculative study that shows something is *possible* It hasn’t been studied in real patients. Why are you releasing this ? Does it serve a purpose? What could the negative impacts be? Basically: STFU until you’re past peer review.https://twitter.com/FinancialTimes/status/1272608830002774016 …

I have an MSc in science communication and I used to work in a comms department, I’m 98% sure that’s how it went down. It’s not as egregious as other examples of small/preprint/speculative studies hitting the headlines but it’s part of a concerning pattern.

looks like real work but i'm super annoyed that it's hard to find the actual study. OTOH given the madness that is getting through to the government or anybody & the insanity that is people YOLOing through this pandemic I don't think they're wrong for attempting a press release
