The fact is that powerful academics are rarely silenced but are very free to silence others and there really are no consequences for them doing so 
Sounds like a classic case of Nobel Disease.https://skepticalinquirer.org/2020/05/the-nobel-disease/ …
I knew some of these, but this is a much bigger list. Great article!
A not insignificant number of Nobel laureates have gone down this path.
It’s not so much the large-scale wrong predictions that I personally find the most off-putting - anyone can be wrong and a lot of people have been (though his tone regarding these has certainly been a red flag). 1/
It’s more the steady stream of poorly-thought-out shoot-from-the-hip claims, data interpretations that seem to crumble under moderate scrutiny etc. A list of all those little, what seem like ‘reckless’ errors would be much more informative than the big things I think. 2/2
This article raises a lot of important issues, but I think something that is missing from the broader discussion is an explicit consideration of research ethics. Academic freedom is obviously crucial, but so is ethical behaviour, particularly with life or death policy advice.
This is not a criticism of the article. I think articles like this lay the groundwork for a comprehensive discussion research ethics in public health and beyond, which is urgently needed.
