      Can't tell if you're agreeing with me or not - I've been asking the science-minded people I know to comment. Fact is, the letter was in JAMA Pediatrics. This nasty guy, who talks about 'bad faith' then goes on about 'mouth breathers' and 'rancid turds' works in sports apparel...

      So ethos-wise, I'm still inclined to believe the first. But from what I can understand, Mr. Whack-a-Mole has a grasp of science that I do not, so I'd sure like someone with expertise to weigh in. Simply answering a study with one guy's scatalogical thread doesn't do it.

      This Walach guy's previous "study" was already retracted and caused some stir indeed.https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/07/scientists-quit-journal-board-protesting-grossly-irresponsible-study-claiming-covid-19 …

      A retracted study proves little in this highly politicized climate. Show me the track record of the scientist prior to Covid. If, as with many now out-of-favor researchers, he was revered for 20 yrs and is now being cast out bc his findings don't support the narrative...

      Of course, you're entitled to think what you wish. You may wanna ask a simple question. Did they measure oxygen saturation.

      I do not have the background to ask any specific question about the study. I'll tell you this, if the guy writing the thread had acted like a professional rather than an entitled frat boy, I'd be waayyy more inclined to take him seriously. Ethos/pathos/logos

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

      My trust in epidemiologists is at about -100. Give me scientists who don't have skin in the game.

      I didn't actually review that study, it was an expert in respiratory physiology

      Oh no all good, I'm just not the one who reviewed the particular paper, outside my wheelhouse 👍
