Serious question for @JFlier and @VPrasadMDMPH in light of your STAT piece (https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/27/hear-scientists-different-views-covid-19-dont-attack-them/ …): do you still think my *tone* and that of my like-minded colleagues was inappropriate?

I am glad I have earned ur respect to be named as an author of this important piece :) https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/27/hear-scientists-different-views-covid-19-dont-attack-them/ … Are you saying that all the commenters who said things like this
knew about undisclosed jetblue funding, and that is why the tone was thus, but didn't mention it?pic.twitter.com/7F92yU25Ln

I don't want to be in the position of defending Ebright, but you cut the part about my comments out the story. No, the tone was thus because the whole thing was clearly a shit-show all around. We didn't know the full backstory. Though there were plenty of clues.pic.twitter.com/38Lgj10Gfa

Our article was not defending Ioannidis' research or position, we argue that academics should not engage in bullying, name calling, & ad hominem attacks by the hundreds, even if they do not like the ideas/ work (even wrong ones) of other academics Is that really controversial?

That's a shame because it read as a tone-deaf and arrogant defense of clearly flawed research couched in obvious nonsense about "silencing" a man with one of the biggest media platforms of any academic in the world
