Omdat het International Fact Checking Day is wil ik kort ingaan op bezwaren die er nog steeds zijn mbt #corona en #coronamaatregelen, die op niets anders dan verdachtmakingen, ongenoegen en onderbuikgevoel gebaseerd zijn. Want daar moeten we eens mee ophouden. 1/n #IFCD #IFCN
Ik blijf sommige verklaringen die worden aangedragen toch erg bijzonder vinden. En begrijp me niet verkeerd, twijfelen mag maar waarop baseer je die twijfel en sta je wel open voor een gesprek hierover? Daarom enkele voorbeelden. 2/n #IFCD #IFCN
Het verhaal dat kinderen en jongeren geleden hebben onder de #coronamaatregelen. Want er zijn nu veel meer psychologische problemen… Tsja, die waren voor de #pandemie ook al groeiende en waarom de aanname dat de jongeren alleen last hebben gehad van maatregelen? 3/n #IFCD #IFCN

The *bad* news 😬
Individuals with multimorbidity are less likely to complete participation in clinical trials
The *good* news 😅
The effect is modest (and consistent across medical conditions and drug classes)

Just a friendly reminder @moderna_tx told the @SECGov that the @US_FDA defines #mRNA as gene therapy. And called it an unprecedented new category of #medicines tho they really want that #vaccine classification anyways for liability protections & fear the public wouldn’t take it.

Sussman & Fitch reported 3 cases of IA infusion of fibrinolytics
Didn’t work 😫. Probably because they were performed in a non-hyperacute fashion
But this laid the foundation for years of refinement

This is a letter which has been sent out by the ICMR DG yesterday. Now that multiple folks have confirmed genuineness, let me raise some issues with this letter on #vaccine #trials during a pandemic, in this case #COVID19
What are the ethical issues in this letter? Read on.
What are the ethical issues in this letter? Read on.
For a vaccine for which pre-clinical development is still ongoing, as per the letter itself, how can clinical trial recruitment be starting on 07th July?
And that the vaccine will be launched on 15th August? A vaccine trial completed in little over a month, efficacy pre-decided?
And that the vaccine will be launched on 15th August? A vaccine trial completed in little over a month, efficacy pre-decided?
How were the clinical trial sites mentioned in the appendix chosen--on what criteria? eligibility? From what list? was this selection done by ICMR or by BBIL? Some of these seem to be small nursing homes/hospitals- are they the apt place to run a pandemic #vaccine trial?

Randomization never ensures zero #confounding bias. It provides probabilistic bounds on confounding.
Therefore, by bad luck, the effect estimates from some perfectly conducted randomized #trials are substantially confounded. But we don't know which ones!
An eye-opening example:
Therefore, by bad luck, the effect estimates from some perfectly conducted randomized #trials are substantially confounded. But we don't know which ones!
An eye-opening example:
In Denmark, 860 individuals were randomly allocated to either "intervention" or "control":
• No intervention was implemented
• Individuals were unaware of their allocation
• Mortality was higher in the intervention group with p=0.003
Keep this in mind when evaluating a trial.

Anyone who says “Z is an instrumental variable” doesn’t know what an instrumental variable is.
We can only say “Z is a proposed instrumental variable”, because we cannot ever verify that Z is an instrumental variable.
Not even in many randomized #trials.

Of the 3 instrumental conditions an IV must meet
(1) is empirically verifiable
(2) isn't verifiable, but expected in double-blind trials
(3) isn't verifiable, but expected in randomized trials
Thus #IVestimation will be biased in many #trials because condition (2) doesn't hold.

Though we can't verify that a variable is an IV, we can sometimes falsify that a variable is an IV. @MariaGlymour et al explain how
academic.oup.com/aje/article/17…
One would then expect all IV (eg, Mendelian randomization) studies try to falsify but, amazingly, most don’t. Malpractice.
