      By Ioannidis' own conclusion: "Inferences on effects of NPIs are non-robust and highly sensitive to model specification." Funny how he just so happened to conclude that the model that showed the least effect of "lockdowns" was the best.🙄https://twitter.com/DrEliDavid/status/1343359007004774400 …

      New paper by Ioannidis et al analyzes the effectiveness of lockdowns in14 Europeans countries and concludes: "𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁" Another nail in the coffin of lockdowns... https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.22.20160341v3 … pic.twitter.com/hJ6JrmxJfG

      I can usually tell when someone has moved from scientist to charlatan when I know what position they will take on a politically charged scientific issue without having to read their work. There was basically a 0% chance he would conclude lockdowns worked.

      Oh, goody. You reminded me that you exist. (I'd forgotten about you and your #COVID19 misinformation.) I've been meaning to write about you for @ScienceBasedMed. Too bad I've written my last post of 2020. Oh, well, there's always 2021.😂

      Write away, it'll be the same old scientism stuff so can't guarantee I'll read it - but do enjoy my compiled list of ~25 analyses that put cost:benefit of lockdown "science" in the toilet 😉 Prof Ioannidis' is just the latest, but I know you don't really care about data like I do

      I care enough about data that, unlike you, I don't cherry pick *only* studies that support my preconceived biases on a topic.😉

      That meme does rather sum it up. He's an engineer who before the pandemic decided he was an expert in diet and nutrition and then, after #COVID19 hit, decided he was an expert in epidemiology, infectious disease, and public health.
