      I know a fair bit about COVID. I spent a fairly large part of my life reading research about COVID. And I'm a good reader—it's part of my job. I'm not doing any epidemiology on my own. The problem is that ACIP's recommendations on vaccine prioritization don't match the research.https://twitter.com/mikeandallie/status/1340474677081366528 …

      Once lesson you learn very early on in a finance career is that it is really dangerous - like you'll end our career dangerous - to make big and obvious looking decisions in areas where you know next to nothing. The clearer the numbers look to you, the more the idea applies. https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1340363906590650370 …

      Yes, you are. You ARE doing epidemiology on your own. By denying the recommendations of public health officials as though you know as much or more than they do, by applying epidemiology findings in a way counter to theirs, you are doing epidemiology/public health.🙄

          I still wonder how @NateSilver538 spent a large part of his life researching something that’s been around less than a year.

          Not really. There’s highly questionable ‘ethics’ at the root of the schedule. Ethics are not science nor can epidemiology claim to be experts in ethics.

          You offer no actual rebuttal and also ACIP recommendation was updated today to almost exactly what Silver was saying. Maybe an almighty PHD like you should’ve read the data yourself instead of getting your panties in a wad that someone might dare disagree

          There is no need for a rebuttal, Nate is flawed from his initial premise. He has shown he doesn’t even have basic reading comprehension. Jesus how misinformed can you possibly be.

          Epidemiology is doing the work and research. Epidemiologists do not have a monopoly on interpreting the data they compile

          Well their recommendations have been pretty bad during the pandemic so maybe they deserve a little bit of skepticism
