      Jonathan is far too kind. If there's one thing #COVID19 taught me, it's that no one is immune to becoming a crank. No one. Not even me.https://twitter.com/JHowardBrainMD/status/1379605460454629377 …

      A year ago I could not have predicted who would have become a covid contrarian and minimizer. But there were several here like @doritmi and @gorskon who I never worried about for a millisecond.

      That's why I'm currently über-paranoid about falling into the same traps that, for example, John Ioannidis, fell into.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2021/04/05/wtf-happened-to-john-ioannidis/ …

          It makes me wonder if being über-paranoid about falling into this trap could lead me into falling into other traps.

          I doubt. That self criticism and awareness you describe is the first and most important step of not becoming a crank.

          Early onset Alzheimer's? I remember an article about a doctor who self detected his own early decline but, at the time, still functioned well above the average individual without Alzheimer's.

          Replying to @gorskon

          How come there is such a dearth of any talk of morbidity? This is a huge red flag for me from the GB crew - yes there is greater uncertainty with morbidity vs mortality. But with such high case loads even a low percentage of serious issues would cause millions problems

          It's not just even Long Covid: the hypercoaguable state triggering a one-time stroke in an individual who may not have gotten a stroke is a huge loss in terms of QOL. A 65 yo with a hemiparesis is a lot different then a 65 yo with risk factors only
