    Another dodgy study, this one claiming that masks cause kids to breathe too much CO2 Turns out that's absolute nonsense - @jamesheathers with the takedownhttps://twitter.com/jamesheathers/status/1411005081902673921 …

    I've been fairly quiet about bad COVID research, as I am not a virologist, I do not work in epi or public health, and that makes trenchant criticism irresponsible. That has changed, because this exists. Strap in, we're going long. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2781743 …

        The EIC of @JAMAPediatrics is the same guy who once told me that "you're not right just because you think you are" about a mathematical error in his paper I was indeed right, and the paper was later corrected

        These papers are being produced at an industrial scale to impress a particular audience. Quantity over quality, tomorrow there'll be a new study that "proves" their case yet again.https://twitter.com/ERDonnachie/status/1411037196367405057?s=19 …

        very scientific critisism (particularly this piece with capital letters); publish in Nature Medicine back-to-back with Andersen proximal origin piece.https://twitter.com/jamesheathers/status/1411005089846726659 …

        Can this device accurately differentiate that? CAN IT FUCK. And while we're on the data, there's something worse. Why not measure *blood oxygen*? You only need an oximeter, stick it on a finger. They did. Or at least, the supplemental material prominently mentions it.
