No, it's not possible that the paper has "literally killed people." How has this ridiculous claim become the de facto response to everything Twitter "public health experts" disagree with?https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1356085721744855046 …

Of course it is. This paper was/is being used to guide school reopening during a pandemic, the mistake was quite large and may have negatively impacted policy

No, it's really not. It is a (slightly veiled) ad hominem designed to attack the authors, stifle debate, and engender support from your tribe.

What utter tripe. If I wanted to insult people, I'd do much better than to imply the mistakes that they admitted to may have caused harm

You didn't imply, you accused the authors of murder - standard fare on public health twitter, but a pretty egregious claim to most others. And this tactic has all the other benefits you need.

You are clearly reading words other than mine. I suggest you have another look rather than throwing around ridiculous accusations

"it is entirely possible that this study has literally killed people through the errors of the authors" You doubled down on it twice. Did you mean something other than "it is entirely possible that this study has literally killed people through the errors of the authors?"

Nope, that's exactly what I meant, that it is possible that due to the errors that the authors agree they made that people may have died. No accusations of murder, no wild nonsense, merely a statement of fact

You claim they killed people in an unprovable probabilistic assertion that you also call a "fact" which, though it can be literally* true [that you said it]... is also tripe on its face. People killing other people is murder. *using "literally" literally here, unlike how you do

I never said the authors personally killed anyone. You're just talking bullshit, cheerio
