      I encourage the editors of the journal to retract this article although that seems unlikely since Ioannidis was editor in chief of the journal until a few years ago 3/n

      I also encourage people to read the remarkable response and comments by @gidmk, the person attacked by Ioannidis https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1376304539897237508?s=20 … 4/n

      Recently, Professor John Ioannidis, most famous for his meta-science and more recently COVID-19 work, published this article in the European Journal of Clinical Investigation It included, among other things, a lengthy personal attack on me Some thoughts 1/n pic.twitter.com/JGfUrpJXh2

      This is not okay. @GidMK has made numerous, important, *scientific* critiques of the IFR estimates Ioannidis & his group have put out. To ignore those critiques but instead attack Gideon for his junior status is reprehensible. https://twitter.com/CT_Bergstrom/status/1376080062131269634 …

      John Ioannidis is back in the news yet again, this time for going on a really bizarre ranty & very personal attack on @GidMK (go read it yourself, you’ll be as aghast as I am). So it’s worth remembering how he worked, with success (!), to persuade Trump not to act against COVID⬇️ https://twitter.com/GYamey/status/1370743451864739848 …

      1/J John Ioannidis published an article defending his low estimate of COVID-19's fatality rate. It contains so many distortions that I'll try something I've never done on Twitter for a paper: Go thru distortions page-by-page. This will take awhile. 😑 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/eci.13554 … pic.twitter.com/AyV5RiwQnh

      Ioannidis’s comments are also unbelievably disrespectful to public health practitioners without a PhD. Many people with a masters in public health work as epidemiologists in state & local health departments and have done rigorous, life-saving work “on the ground” this pandemic. https://twitter.com/CT_Bergstrom/status/1376080062131269634 …

      We're both MPH, but @LeaMerone has a truly impressive number of letters after her name. The fact that none of them are (yet) PhD is to me the least important aspect of her credentials

          Sorry Gideon. I didn't realize you were MPH as well. That's even more ridiculous. Will delete and repost.

          I assume you know this, but in the US, it’s normal for people with a MPH (but no PhD) to be called an epidemiologist, so that’s among the many things that needs to be corrected in that awful article, which I hope will be retracted also:https://twitter.com/NuritBaytch/status/1376156198479790084 …

          @gidMK While JI’s intent was to sabotage your career, I hope this has the opposite effect! here the CDC cites your work on the IFR, not his, b/c of course you’re right and he’s wrong: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios-archive/planning-scenarios-2020-09-10.pdf … חג שמח
