We all know @MartyMakary has just destroyed MedPage's credibility.
Turns out he has destroyed his own, too.
A light thread highlighting how to lie with stats.
Referring to Makary here. And this is the harm caused by denialists like Makary.
So his big study. Was not a study.
Claimed it was about pediatrics.
The words child, children, or pediatrics are not listed.
This is how you, in effect, lie.
We've seen it from Gandhi, Hoeg, McBride.
And Makary is just another one.
So, he then just reuses this paper over and over again.
Closing out this thread by asking a great question Dr. Howard asked,
"If doctors feel the pandemic is largely over for COVID-19 and that we need to “move on” and stop talking about it, shouldn’t they lead by example?"
