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 …
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

That’s the point - there is no study for anyone to read yet. That’s what a preprint is. It’s still in peer review and hasn’t been published. Peer review could still find major flaws but it’s too late because the headline is already out there.

It may well be correct but that still doesn’t tell us anything useful - it hasn’t been proven in patients and they haven’t studied whether covid can pass the blood-brain barrier which is quite a major caveat. But it’s a scary headline that will get a bunch of coverage.
