@numbers_truth is she accurate when she claims excess deaths in 2017 were greater than 2020?
@greg_travis & @AtomsksSanakan was she telling the truth about the .15 IFR?
@GidMK how about her PCR claims? This might be a good one for you to debunk. I'm simply tired of these tropes

At a very basic level, the studies cited there generally do not support the assertions made. As one tiny example, the IFR for the US from the study that is cited is 0.3-0.4%, not 0.15%

The PCR thing is a piece of bizarre debunked pseudoscience with no factual basis whatsoever - presumably this is a conspiracist website of some sort?

ɪᴀɴ ᴍ. ᴍᴀᴄᴋᴀʏ, ᴘʜᴅ 🦠 🤧 🧬 🥼 🦟 🧻 🧙♂️Verified account @MackayIMThat website opinion attack piece on the Corman/Drosten RT-rPCR tests has a few confused & sometimes very wrong comments. I'll preface this thread with a *presumption* I'm making - these authors haven't worked on or with this test themselves. And that matters a lot if true.Show this thread3 replies 0 retweets 5 likes -

The main criticism of Drosten I remember from hearing
@Kevin_McKernan talk about it was a lack of control for swab/sample size - which would come from comparing human genetic material signal to the viral signal. Not addressed here - A shame there's a communication block.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

Let me put it this way - the argument is a bit of a nothing regardless, because Drosten was just one paper anyway. We developed several tests locally in Australia. It's a complete non-sequitur spread by disingenuous denialists

I know it doesn't apply in the US either, where I am. But my understanding is that a significant percentage of the European tests were based on Drosten, and lacked this control. Is that incorrect?

No idea, haven't checked every country in the world. Sounds like nonsense though, especially given that most of the objections raised about Drosten's paper were factually mistaken

Well tell you what, as a layperson interested in science with enough of a background to know what I don't know, it's quite frustrating to hear diametrically opposed viewpoints from various experts, who never debate, but instead just dismiss each other's "facts" as nonsense.

Except in this case you have all of the world's virologists on one side and a cannabis entrepreneur on the other
