      Interesting—seems like, having looked into it, @KelseyTuoc thinks there’s more fraud than she had realized with the ivermectin early treatment/prophylaxis stuff. As always, I want to know if other people have also looked into this.https://twitter.com/webdevmason/status/1437891481360998401 …

      Kelsey, Health Nerd is not a neural actor. He maintains full agreement with the positions of CDC/WHO on every single topic. To this day claims lab leak hypothesis is a hoax. He changed position on aerosol transmission 2 days after the CDC did, almost a year after it was obvious.

      I'm starting to realize that folks from the rationality community are still quite resistant to touching grass and reliant on second or third hand takes. Usually that works, but not here.https://twitter.com/alexandrosM/status/1431607634075938823?s=20 …

      This Health Nerd guy seems to be truly a strange case. Makes loud pretentious claims, then crumbles under pushback. Anyone have the details on what's going on? I'll make this a mini-thread with the various clues I've seen so far in case anyone has more to bring to the table. https://twitter.com/EduEngineer/status/1431518045088923649 …

      I'm not saying Carvallo is honest btw. I am saying that there are very many studies, and that people like Health Nerd have been pushing hard on all of them. That should actually increase our estimates that other studies, also positive, are in fact honest and sound.

      Health Nerd Retweeted Kyle Sheldrick

      So, several odd statements here. We've assessed all the studies equally, and there are several that we've publicly said definitely aren't fraud (for example, Mahmud et al), some of which found benefitshttps://twitter.com/K_Sheldrick/status/1408651561228668931?s=20 …

      This is a tale of two different experiments. The one on the left (Mahmud's RCT) looks like you would expected from an experiment that had been performed as reported, and done well. The one on the right is not a result you would get from an experiment. pic.twitter.com/nfjTSbhKTt

          When you say that people like me have been "pushing hard on all of them", presumably you mean doing basic checks for potential scientific fraud. Indeed we have - some studies have passed, some have not

          As to the literature as a whole, it's quite funny to see people saying that potential fraud and retracted papers increases their trust in the remaining studies. I think we should base our trust on data, not insults, but that's just me
