      I love the other part of the interview where @JohnBerman refers to #PeterNavarro as "a social scientist with no medical training.” Seriously, Navarro's Dunning-Kruger is so strong that he thinks he can science better than #AnthonyFauci. 🤦‍♂️https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1247147047490330626 …

      NAVARRO: Would you take hydroxychloroquine if you got sick? @JohnBerman: I would listen to my doctor, not someone involved with trade policy. Do you want a doctor striking trade deals? NAVARRO: Touche BERMAN: That's my point! pic.twitter.com/GCjEzoWUV1

      For some reason economists seem to think they can interpret clinical trial data just because they use statistics and models in their work. Without knowing the fundamentals of clinical trial design, though, you won't know if the conclusion follows from the data.

          When I wrote my book on trans issues I had sections on medicine, mental health care, and law. My reviewers included the head of the Gender Clinic at UCLA, and the Dean of American University Law School, because I'm not a doctor or a lawyer, and I made every change they asked

          David, be fair; I have only been a world class Infectologist since February. I bet you had to go to school to become a doctor. #Noob

          I don't think the null hypothesis exists in economics.

          Navarro can say anything he wants - he can't get sued for medical malpractice because he is not an MD!

          Trial design, appropriate primary outcome measurements, clinical relevance, does it hang together with secondary metrics - many factors differentiate expert reading from lay person reading the same thing.

          Yeah, I’ve noticed that there is a vocal minority of Economists and Physicists who seem to think their field means they are an expert at everything. I know that I find it irksome when they start bumbling into my field too
