John Ioannidis published an article defending his low estimate of COVID-19's fatality rate.

It contains so many distortions that I'll try something I've never done on Twitter for a paper:

Go thru distortions page-by-page.

This will take awhile. 😑

@AcceptableToad @KeithWoodsYT Oh, Academic Agent is still around + switched from @NotCarKing to @AcademicAgent_X?

I remember when Potholer54, I, and others repeatedly debunked his climate change denialism.

@AcceptableToad @KeithWoodsYT @NotCarKing @AcademicAgent_X It's telling that Academic Agent tells the same fabrication Potholer54 debunked years ago.

Denialists like him never honestly learn.

@AcceptableToad @KeithWoodsYT @NotCarKing @AcademicAgent_X "I don’t “deny climate change”, I just think the mathematical modelling is dubious and the science of renewables just isn’t there. One can’t override facts with ideology."

@pureMetatron Also telling there wasn't a response to Dave's video on Matt Ridley's climate change denialism, despite scientists' favorable comments on Dave's video.

@pureMetatron So literalism on the Noachian flood, along with Sodom and Gomorrah?

Still pretty strange to say Jesus did either.

@pureMetatron Many of Metatron's YouTube fans don't know the extreme stuff he says on Twitter.

So much so that they reject it when they see it.

It'd be a problem for Metatron if Dave made a video showing those claims.

@pureMetatron Some concluding points of agreement:

- Dave misrepresented why you ended the stream on his Hancock debunk

- he sometimes prematurely assigns motive (ex: Thiel paying Hossenfelder)

- he shouldn't have mentioned your mother

@pureMetatron Just noticed gateways from 'normie' YouTube to more extreme views on Musk's Twitter, promotion of Nick Fuentes, etc.

FYI: Nyong'o was born in Mexico + of Kenyan heritage. It's biased to conflate that with Congo + Detroit.

@pureMetatron You say Christians shouldn't subscribe to him because he thinks we're stupid.

That's not what he said. You're treating his criticism of your day-age creationism as meaning all Christians are dumb.

(FYI: Dave likely got that clip from me)

from 35:46 :
@pureMetatron Not all Christians hold the views you do, Metatron, like:

- supporting the right-wing
- thinking the left wing is evil
- believing in a non-metaphorical Adam and Eve
- insinuating there was a global flood

@pureMetatron Also, you distort day age creationism.

It's not just a claim about what 'day' means in Genesis.

It's also the claim that this accurately represents biological + geological reality, such as getting the order of events right.

@hausfath Within the uncertainty range of IPCC 1990 First Assessment Report's 1990-2025 projection.

@hausfath 1990-2025 warming trend is ~0.25°C/decade.

psl.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/data/a…

Implies ~0.9°C of global warming for 1990-2025, i.e. close to the projected average value of 1°C.

Dr. Anthony Fauci complained about death threats to him, his family, public health experts + staff, etc.

This thread will cover some of the rhetoric that may have contributed to that, along with surrounding context.

1:43:53 - 1:47:40 :
2/F

Fauci is not alone in receiving threats.

For example, there's Dr. Nicole Kleinstreuer:

"Death threats to NIH official spark debate over aggressive campaign to end animal research"

Threats sometimes lead to physical harm.

"of 510 researchers who had published on SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19, 38% acknowledged harassment ranging from personal insults to threats of violence"
