1. The mistake was in using 13/50 instead of 13/26 and in comparing probabilities rather than odds. 2. We verified it with the authors. 3. Please provide an example where a small sample fails despite a strong p-value. 4...

4. Where is the challenge in giving to 50 hospitalized patients a safe oral treatment every few days? Why would anyone drop out? 5. Search "multivariate logistic regression" in the paper. 6...

6. The point is that in a pandemic, we don't have the luxury of waiting for absolute certainty, we need to make the best decision for patients using the best information we have. 7. Please do not block people making an honest scientific discussion on matters of such importance.

If you don't want people to block, I'd suggest refraining from tweeting the same tweets several times. I just automatically block that these days, it's very annoying

Anyway, more broadly you haven't actually addressed anything I've said aside from the ICU admission point. If you've confirmed with the authors, I'd recommend that they request a revision from the journal specifying that this was the case because it is currently unclear

The p-value point is a misunderstanding of the problem with small samples (it's not all about 'significance'). This is mirrored in the response to point 5 - this sample is FAR too small to run a multivariable logistic regression, all you'd get is noise if you adjusted

As ever, I'm not making any firm claims, I'm pointing out the limitations of the evidence - claiming that this study is firm proof of anything is quite obviously incorrect. Whether or not that should impact clinical decision-making is another debate entirely

You ridiculed those pushing for D supplementation, which is a massively life saving decision, when weighing the probabilities.

I honestly cannot see how that is ridiculing anyone. It's not rude, or offensive, it is just my exhausted take on how science is being consumed in 2020
