    These bad takes by people like Marty Makary wouldn’t annoy me so much if these people were capable of once in a blue moon actually acknowledging that they made a mistake and a bad prediction. They never do.https://twitter.com/GYamey/status/1388568678397054984 …

        Herd immunity in April 2021? What? I thought we hit herd immunity in august 2020? Nobel laureates are never wrong!https://twitter.com/MLevitt_NP2013/status/1287036738565738496 …

        US COVID19 will be done in 4 weeks with a total reported death below 170,000. How will we know it is over? Like for Europe, when all cause excess deaths are at normal level for week. Reported COVID19 deaths may continue after 25 Aug. & reported cases will, but it will be over. https://twitter.com/MLevitt_NP2013/status/1281982362751049730 …

        I'm still waiting for the all people that were following Leavitt around last spring saying HIT was in the 20's (Including Rand Paul) to own up to THAT erroneous theory.https://www.stanforddaily.com/2020/05/04/qa-nobel-laureate-says-covid-19-curve-could-be-naturally-self-flattening/ …

        Interesting that several respected PH/Epi types think combination of vaccinated & recovered patients may be limiting things as we enter May. Will be interested to see what June 1 looks like. A few months ago some high profile people also thought India was somehow “protected”...

        Eh, there's a fair bit of daylight between "2/3 of us are 💉 or infected or both, so we're near the end," and "we'll hit herd immunity at 10% infections! We don't need no stinkin'lockdowns or vaccinations!" or india's "we tested a few people and figure we're probably fine."

        So true. To his credit, Levitt quit Pandata19 very publicly and called them out for being antivax. And he has acknowledged a couple of his bad calls. But I can't think of any others. And to me that's what indicates to me that they may be sociopaths or narcissists.

        And just after I said that, Levitt has gone on an insane run of retweeting racists and Denialists.
