Professor of Evidence Based Medicine @carlheneghan has decided to destroy the evidence of all the times he's been wrong during the pandemic.
Like many covid contrarians before him, he's wiped every tweet more than a few weeks old from his account. Luckily the internet remembers.

An archive of his tweets can be found here:

Ironically, one of the last tweets he deleted was promoting a Spectator article titled "Covid has emboldened our modern censors".
He seems to have now chosen to censor himself. 🙄

Other highlights include promoting his own Spectator article "The Hidden Cost Of Lockdown", which (whether intentionally misleading or just sloppily worded) initially implied that tens of thousands of covid deaths were somehow "lockdown deaths".

Or when he claimed there was no sign of a second wave .. in the middle of the second wave in the North and Midlands that went on to kill thousands of people in October and November.

Or when he suggested in July that the false positive rate was 2.3%.
Which was clearly nonsense when positivity rates in some areas were 0.1% or less at the time.

Or when he claimed that 1/4 of the UK's population had been tested for covid, after confusing the number of unique people tested with the number of tests "made available" (including millions "sent out" but never used, and people tested multiple times).

Or his habit of only tweeting about excess deaths when there aren't any, then going strangely quiet whenever there's a surge in covid deaths that he said wouldn't happen. 🤔
It'll take more than deleting a few thousand tweets to restore his reputation...
