      The Guardian piece covering the story of extremely flawed @JAMANetworkOpen paper @DAChristakis, @drwilvancleve and @Zimmermanfred is out! With @GidMK we outline many of the critical errors and conceptual flaws of the paper. Join in for a guided tour 🧵https://twitter.com/guardian/status/1336201932952793089 …

      The paper (which you can find here http://doi.org/10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2020.28786 …) arrived at a ridiculous statement that School closure in the US caused a harm expressed in the Years of Life Lost (YLL) bigger than that of the direct COVID-19 deaths 3/

      Now I link again the threads that highlight multiple severe flaws in your paper. 👇5 links in 5 tweets below👇 Each contains enough to dismiss the results of this paper. Response still welcome 🖐️ @DAChristakis @drwilvancleve @Zimmermanfred 🖐️

      Then, when it became obvious that the authors simply don't care about the truth and are going to dismiss our critique on Twitter and push on with the harmful policy suggestions 👇 we joined forces w/ @GidMK to write a more formal reply 5/https://twitter.com/ikashnitsky/status/1330953083443159042 …

      Can you believe it? ☹️ JUST HOW? Instead of doing the homework and dealing with the infinite and diverse flaws and errors pointed out in his study @DAChristakis goes on TV to push forward the *wrong* and *harmful* policy suggestions. This choice is in no way an innocent mistake https://twitter.com/TheLeadCNN/status/1329916350114967554 …

      Replying to @ikashnitsky @GidMK

      Medice cura te ipsum. Your critique of the paper by @DAChristakis is not the same as establishing that the policy of keeping schools open is harmful and wrong. The paper can be hopelessly flawed but the policy can still be correct.
