One question is who were the editors who allowed this to be published in this form?
He's the former EIC of the journal, so suspect they are all buddies.
Even then, we might speculate that it might not have been published if the Big Name had not previously been Editor of the journal.
Really at a loss today with this. The fact that this was edited, reviewed and deemed as publishable is disconcerting. It also makes me wonder of this is an indication of what we may start to see more broadly from other journals and authors
Oh.... they don't know what waits them ..... authoritarianism like that in the era of infinite speed of information ... good luck to their asses I say ...
It is so bad it makes me wonder if the editors and reviewers at that journal he formerly edited hate ioannidis and are allowing him to fully show his a**.
Hadn't considered that alternative.
The fact that Ioannidis is still on Stanford faculty, speaks ill of the scientific standards they currently have.
The ironic thing - clearly Ioannidis targeted them in order to get them to stand down. Which may be the most mistaken belief since WHO said that CoVid could not be transmitted between people. And it maybe the dumbest strategic move since Germany marched on Russia. In winter.
Indeed. I’ve always had immense respect for @GidMK and his dedication and adherence to following the data, but I’ve also respected his outspoken advocacy of following the data and the science, and his unwillingness to stop doing so.
