    Absent anything else, it is truly odd to see people who are usually quite against bad scientific practices vigorously defend them this yearhttps://twitter.com/VPrasadMDMPH/status/1300915247176323073 …

    I would never have guessed that IFR would become one of the most controversial topics of 2020 The IFR in today's @NEJM publication of the Iceland experience was 0.3% https://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJMoa2026116?articleTools=true … The IFR in the preprint meta-analysis by satan was 0.27% 🤷‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/arz3cCKRvA

        This is the study that is referred to with an inferred IFR of 0.27%https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1283232023402868737?s=20 …

        You are missing the point if you think the tweet has to to with IFR. @dr_dmorgan even explained it to you, but sometimes feedback is hard to hear.

        Well, I personally try to be courteous online. I have clearly been very critical of one paper - because it is extremely flawed - but I've certainly never stated or implied that Ioannidis is 'satan', simply that he is wrong

        Is Vinay really trying to say that just because the there’s a study with a number similar to JI’s... that somehow his terrible methods are now vindicated? 🧐

        Prasad's basically tone trolling and cherry-picking research. This is the same thing that's been done to climate scientists, vaccine scientists, etc. when they correct ideologically-motivated contrarians.

        So what's happening to you, @GidMK, is basically a form of what happened to @dana1981, @johnfocook, etc. earlier this year. Some people just don't like it when inaccurate information is called what it is. https://twitter.com/AtomsksSanakan/status/1229795398950236160 … https://skepticalscience.com/climate-misinformation-accountability.html …pic.twitter.com/jzSpxE9vxj
