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 …

Jeanne Lenzer added,
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.
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
Exactly. Some of his friends have tried to pretend he just though a bit differently about trade-offs of lockdown and such. BS. He inhibited an honest conversation of trade-offs by repeatedly lowballing things on TV shows of right-wing cranks.
And I've never gotten an answer why @JeanneLenzer1 allows this to uncorrected in her @sciam piece?
The top part is her article. The bottom part is JI's own words. Maybe I missing something. Explain.pic.twitter.com/3rdlYKMV01
It's amazing how many people (e.g., @VPrasadMDMPH) are so eager to defend Ioannidis on this score.
I think this is also another example of @sciam jumping the shark. The quality of science it reports as well as the influx of dodgy science into its pages has led me to the sad decision to not renew my subscription for the first time since 1982.
SciAm has been going downhill for a long time. Hell, it still features John Horgan as a regular columnist.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2016/05/18/john-horgan-is-skeptical-of-skeptics-or-homeopathy-and-bigfoot-versus-the-quest-for-world-peace/ …
