idk I'm a fairly non-confrontational person but it might help if scientists and journalists were more willing to call bullshit on this stuff (like you are), even if the bullshitter is a Big Name

Yes. The trouble is some of these people have a really large platform, so to be effective (and sometimes just to avoid getting blocked) you may need to have a pretty Big Name yourself in order to be effective at it.

It's a very difficult information landscape for most people to navigate. Even experts of all stripes get confused or locked into outdated models of the evidence constantly. I try not to blame anyone for even crazy seeming ideas about the pandemic, we're not organized for this.

So, this is fascinating. I think there is legit intra-science disagreement. I tend not to have an opinion on that part as it’s not my field. There is also a tension between what I’m calling philosophical frequentism vs a meta approach: focusing on mechanisms, priors, trade-offs.
