25/n Interestingly, Ioannidis here cites @profshanecrotty, who has a great thread on why this interpretation is incorrecthttps://twitter.com/profshanecrotty/status/1313580981341712386?s=20 …

36/n I should also note - some people have pointed out that the actual numbers in this review are almost certainly inaccurate (e.g. 1.5 mil COVID-19 deaths over 5 years is probably impossible) but I have not focused on the numbers themselves...
37/n ...thing is, the numbers are largely a result of the assumptions. If you extrapolate out an assumed incorrectly low death rate then you'll find the numbers are low Therefore, I focused on the assumptions, because the numbers themselves are just a consequence of these
38/n That being said, it is absolutely worth pointing out that some of these figures that the paper has postulated as reasonable are extraordinarily unlikely and show how the errors have caused a misleading result (remember, this is globally over 5 years!)pic.twitter.com/GoFDd6x2Rn
39/n Also, because a lot of people seem confused about this point - here is why it is nonsense to suggest that because people may have had a comorbidity that COVID-19 didn't kill themhttps://medium.com/@gidmk/covid-19-deaths-are-mostly-caused-by-coronavirus-2a6d2d43bd09 …
Yeah, it’s been sad to see him give away so much credibility.
Who is this guy??? Gid our methods were sound and you even checked with a highly experienced colleague. And our paper went through rigorous peer review. Political gain? Easy to smear two younger authors.....
He's one of the most cited researchers in the world, and a tenured professor at Stanford university
Striving mightily to prove that, in his case, "Most Published Research Findings Are False."
His “catastrophic social meltdown” line. He just pulled that out of his a##s. No evidence that minor social inconveniences do that. And the answer to economic suffering is economic. Likewise mental health problems = mental health interventions.
