      Do you really think he is still saying only 10,000 died? Is it ok that Fauci also pivoted? Isn't that what science is about?https://twitter.com/JHowardBrainMD/status/1345396395331743746 …

      My biggest concern is this uncorrected whopper. The 10,000 deaths was NOT JI giving a low range. It was his "mid-range." He also clearly did not think it could approach 1918 levels. Making a mistake is OK. Not correcting it is disgraceful. pic.twitter.com/lPHNpWNlki

      He lowballed covid in his STAT piece & is trying to rewrite history by claiming it was just a range he presented. This is not the case. He cannot say "I was wrong." It's awful. And yes, he is still trying to lowball it saying people die with covid not of covid.pic.twitter.com/uOCwUleBSX

      Correct. And then he spent the spring and summer appearing on right-wing media outlets so that they could use his lowball #COVID19 death estimates (from a noted scientist!) as propaganda to push for "reopening" America. Ioannidis deserves ALL the criticism he's getting and more.

      Basically, Ioannidis let his ideology trump science. I used to admire him greatly. Not any more. Funny how the #COVID19 #pandemic has unmasked some of who used to be my scientific heroes as, under the correct circumstances, utter hacks.

      Replying to @gorskon @JHowardBrainMD @JeanneLenzer1

      people would maintain some credibility if they admitted they were wrong. This is a new virus. This is outside of our experience. we are human. But to double down and try to pretend that history isn't history; self destructive

      Replying to @stephend50 @JHowardBrainMD @JeanneLenzer1

      As I've said time and time again, it's the arrogance. If Ioannidis had just said with some humility, "I screwed up," followed by an explanation of where he went wrong and how he would try to do better in the future, his 10K estimate would have been forgotten long ago.

      Dr. Offit did that. He made some serious errors in predictions back in March. He openly said he got it completely wrong and pivoted to follow the evidence.

      Replying to @doritmi @gorskon and

      Exactly. I was really surprised to see him compare it to the flu initially. But he realized he was wrong and admitted it. That's why he's a scientist and a scholar, not propagandist. If you had told me 1 year ago I would be saying this about JI, I would not believe it.

      Me too. Dr. Offit disappointed me at first early in the pandemic, but he quickly redeemed himself. Ioannidis never redeemed himself and refuses to redeem himself.

          Replying to @gorskon @JHowardBrainMD and

          Important to note the distinction isn’t simply that Offit “came around”. It’s the humility he showed when the evidence was clearly pointing more and more in a certain direction. And he has said flat out, and even mocked himself, in admitting that he was very wrong.

          That was me in January. Created a FB post for my community pharmacy “worry more about the flu” etc. Crow didn’t go down well but it was necessary. And that’s how science works.
