from the article: when there is greater financial and other interest and prejudice;

that sums it up for me on most of this crap posted out there LOL
profit and branding and advertising to buy this or focus your attention this way ‘due to findings’ is mostly to line pockets with profits. Sad. Agendas, agendas, agendas :wink:

Ioannidis is the man. Great work and something pretty unique in the field.

After seeing Ioannidis’s misleading work on covid, I can’t say I can trust him anymore. He’s like Ivor Cummins to me – someone I thought was sacrosanct, then I realized they viewed everything through their own filters. I don’t read either of them anymore.

One of the most cited papers of all time. I know I’ve been telling folks about it for years.

Ioannidis is a statistician, not a medical doctor or public health specialist. I’d trust his knowledge of statistics, but not necessarily his expertise outside of that field.
