      I still can't quite believe that people are arguing that world-famous academics with constant media appearances and dozens of publications THIS YEAR have been silenced because they got mean emails and tweets

          Barf. Also, they added—but only after publication—that the authors of the piece on Ioannidis are longtime collaborators of his.pic.twitter.com/7emZOkjeMn

          And they act as if Ioannidis was some innocent bystander just asking for more data. The precautionary principle completely eludes them. Enormous numbers of human lives are at stake, but yes, let's lowball the possible damage & sit on our thumbs while we wait for more data.

          This is the article that came out today that is causing the uproar. I'm just an educated, casual observer, but I've seen this play out for months. It's shameful, really, but no surprise considering the arrogance of many in the medical professions.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-covid-science-wars1/ …

          ah. science is a full contact sport. If you're going to try to catch a ball over the middle, you gotta expect to be hit (sorry, US football reference)

          *May have been zero individuals infected *in the Santa Barbara sample*. The way this is written, along with next sentence, suggests the author thinks they meant zero cases *in the world*. And, the math wasn’t that hard to see why the critics were correct about this analysis.pic.twitter.com/1FeLUMWJpd

          Yeah. And somehow a stat valid argument is absurd as it’s crouched in math. In addition, the article says his IFR estimate was similar CDC and WHO estimates, but they used an earlier estimate that was revised upward months ago. That was basically a fluff piece.
