I think that this article by @PeteJamison looks at professor John Ioannidis and his statements during the pandemic, but leaves a few of them out
So I thought I'd just tweet out some things said in papers that prof Ioannidis has written this year 1/nhttps://twitter.com/hswapnil/status/1339308701048594434 …

People commonly reference the CDC's modelled estimate of ~0.1% flu CFR as the IFR, which is why this point is incorrect (this is what the author was doing)
-
I never argued that comparing the Covid-IFR to those 0.1 % was correct, as the IFR of seas. influenza is unknown! My point was, that the IFR of a severe seasonal influenza COULD very well be in that ballpark. No evidence, nth you should mention in a paper, just the possibility!

1/2 That's clear to me. 2 questions/clarifications: 1. The RKI-definition of CFR in GER is lab confirmed deaths / lab confirmed cases. Is this handled differently by the CDC?
-
2/2 2. CFR therefore heavily depends on testing (how ), while IFR doesn't (not addressing problems with proxies like excess deaths and serological data).
