    I do find it quite remarkable that people who have been making testable predictions that have completely failed to come through every day for MONTHS are still being given so much airhttps://twitter.com/AdamJKucharski/status/1348737328366366725 …

    I’m noticing people who’ve spent months insisting pandemic over, hospitalisations not rising etc. now trying to pivot and say they were just trying to improve debate... So let’s be clear: gaslighting public with claims that front-line medics are lying doesn’t improve anything.

        For example, a testable prediction made by Sunetra Gupta, Anders Tegnell, and others was that areas most impacted by COVID-19 in March/April would be substantially protected from any resurgence. This has proven largely wrong

        This was, in part, based on the prediction by Gupta that the UK (and others) had already reached "herd immunity", or were close to it Also wrong

        There are many further examples of people who have said things that are just obviously incorrect. I.e.https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1345860316157022208?s=20 …

        The air will get thinner now that social media companies quit the Stockholm syndrome w/ Trump that got in the way of limiting disinformation that's long-term bad for their bottom line.

        There's still the passionate idiots and the grifters who know better, but a lot of energy behind it was artificial.

        The thing is, if they were simply looking at data and misinterpreting it, they probably would just hold up their hands and say “sorry I was wrong” but they have manipulated and misrepresented data to get likes and retweets and now have painted themselves into a corner
