Um, okay but.. that's not an observational or experimental study, it's a model. Why on earth people changing their minds from a model (models can be great; models can be bullshit) when there is tons of actual high-quality evidence and studies? @politicalmath @antoniogm

I think that has been factually concluded, just waiting for the admission. I wrote about it weeks ago, for the NYT no less, and expected big backlash. Nope. No backlash from doctors or epidemiologists, but many privately contacting me to say thank you.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1239903421970501640 …

I agree! Yes, it's a model, but it seems increasingly to point at the fact that our official gov't health sources basically just flat-out lied to us. They tried couching it in weasel words so they could be technically correct, but it shattered vital trust.
Indeed, there is a significant amount of non-model evidence that I've been tweeting, threading and writing about for a while. And yeah, if you read the op-ed I tried to explain that if you don't tell people the full painful truth, it actually fuels hoarding.
