      Lol that's actually hilarious There are certainly possible criticisms, but since they used rigorous measures of diabetes/smoking/obesity and controlled for these in their analysis, this is not one of them Pure tribalism!pic.twitter.com/kuzsa2qeZI

      "adjustments". Or magic, as more rigorous epistemologists would admit. Mate, before you bloat yourself up like a smug pufferfish, note that most of us ignore ALL crappy epidemiology, whether it confirms our biases or not.

      Lol nope, that's total nonsense. It is statistical manipulation, not magic

      Anyway, your discounting of those who have revealed the problems with the substance and PR-idiocy of this latest debasement of science as "pure tribalism" reveals your tawdry cards too clearly.

      Uh, she made several factually incorrect statements that you are defending with total gibberish, it is hardly to your credit that all you can do is babble insults at me rather than try to understand the basics of statistical adjustment for confounding variables

      Replying to @GidMK @drvyom and

      There's basic adjustment for confounding variables, and there's statistical voodoo atop the GIGO dumpster fire this study's "dataset" represents. There's no distilling an inherent, platonic truth-signal from pure entropy.

      What utter nonsense. They were Cos proportional hazard models with cubic splines, that is fairly standard in such epidemiological research

      Here is the study, I'd recommend the "methods" section it's very enlightening https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpub/article/PIIS2468-2667(18)30135-X/fulltext#seccestitle80 …

      It is very well-written, most scientific research is rather dry 🙂

          It was directed by a PR agency, so I'm not surprised.
