      I understand that emotions are high, but the three part essays by @JonathanJFuller @mlipsitch and now John Ioannidis in @BostonReview Are truly worth your time [Thread] What is science in the time of COVID? Does it vary depending on your lens?

      These essays are all fundamentally philosophical essays about how scientific facts are translated into policy decisions. We have to remember that policy is not science. Policy is what we, human beings, decide to do when given facts. It is bout trade offs, values and uncertainty

          Yes it is unimaginable that other folks who are observing people name calling Ioannidis might be keeping quiet Bravo!

          As yes, the famous "name-calling" which leads, in this example, to dozens of media appearances, several lengthy editorials in mainstream news, and overwhelming global attention Ah, to be "silenced". It'd be amazing for my career!
