      Once upon a time, physicians used clinical judgement and prescribed, and professional medical societies gave conditional recommendations for, interventions based on low or sometimes very low certainty data. No one called them miracles or referred to them by their veterinary use.

      For all the shit I’ve thrown at Kory and FLCCC for the vaccination stance, I’ll go out on a limb and alienate even more folks. @GidMK is not a physician. He will never understand what is involved in making decisions when no solid data exists and you HAVE to make a decision.

      There is a reason he is not practicing medicine. If all we had to do to be a physician was to memorize statistics and critique data, we’d have no shortage of doctors. Can add 100k stats PhDs to our arsenal and give our practicing physicians a break for a week in this awful time.

      Nothing is black and white in my daily practice. And I sure as shit don’t have any RCTs, not even proper prospective data, on 50% of my day to day practice. Hell some days borderline 90% of everything I do has no data aside from expert opinion and “tricks of the trade”.

      And this is bread and butter GI that has been around for decades Yet we have a novel virus and a sure as shit atypical ARDS, and we have now found our prophet in some statistics major who’s sitting on his couch mudslinging about imperfections in COVID19 data.

      Seems very focused on trying to attack a specific group. I did not see a single critic from him about the waste of resources with Remdesivir (conditional usage in Australia).

      Then you haven't looked at my timeline at all. Search my handle and remdesivir and educate yourself 👍

          Common critiques of @GidMK are, doesnt talk about remdesivir's overhype, rooting for ivm to fail, only criticizes trials from LMICs. None of these are the case.

          I retract my saying of not seeing a single critic. There are some mild critics of one specific study and some concerns about the widespread usagehttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1338247137792909312?s=20 …
