    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Eric Topol

    I used to really admire Ioannadis, pre-#COVID19. I could even forgive his contrarian take likening #coronavirus to the flu early in the pandemic, even as at the same time I predicted that take wouldn't age well. But now? Holy hell, he's off the rails.😢https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1254090507824717827 …

    “He’s so attached to being the iconoclast that defies conventional wisdom that he’s unintentionally doing horrible science.”--Alexander Rubinsteyn https://undark.org/2020/04/24/john-ioannidis-covid-19-death-rate-critics/ … @undarkmag by Michael Schulson An excellent exposé and counter to the @WSJ piece and John's PoV

        Crap. It's worse than I thought, as I did not know he'd become a @FoxNews contributor. 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️😢 https://twitter.com/erictopol/status/1254094730792546305?s=21 …https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1254094730792546305 …

        I didn't realize until the @undark piece that he became a major contributor for @FoxNews because he warped analysis, baseless ideas fed right into their agenda

        And, geez, he was a co-author on that sloppy, awful antibody test study from Santa Clara.🤦🏻‍♂️

        Even if the final case fatality rate for #COVID19 turns out to be more in line with Ioannidis’ prediction, I’ll never look at him in the same way again. How you get to your results matters as much as your results.

        As I've said elsewhere: a generally unremarked and notable feature of his career is the absence of affirmative scientific results.

        His definition of “wrong” in his all results are wrong schtick was so broad as to be useless, that’s when I quit paying attention to him. A minor modification in results is not the same as a negation or retraction. Lumping them all together was the canary in the coal mine.

        Low-carbers loved him because he trash-talked nutritional epidemiology. Low-carbers are trafficking in Covid19 related conspiracy theories... What if he's just courting his audience? 🤔
