The full presentation is here. I think the before and after context makes it more worrisome if anything

Strange that he didn't list misinformation and disinformation about disease severity on that slide.
What's the number for how many deaths involved Ioannidis et al telling people to wait and see if it's worth doing anything about covid in March 2020?
Kinda breaks my heart that the guy who did decent (as far as I can tell) work on the gaming of publication metrics has been so consistently bad and contrarian-fringe on this. Starting to think his earlier work might be dodgy also.

Lack of vaccination... of a vaccine that didn't exist until 3 months ago?
Lack of vaccine is responsible for all deaths all causes. Including eaten by wolverines.
Seriously, if everyone was a 26 year old, marathon runner, that didn't smoke or drink, ate a perfect diet, makes 100K+ USD per year, and had access to excellent health care, etc,... almost no one would have died.
Obviously we should've promoted exercise instead of lockdowns. That would've been a quick and effective response to the pandemic.
