Let's start keeping track of Fauci calls for resignation, from mainstream voices, overt and covert, because I'm starting to notice a bit of a pattern. May be nothing, may be something. 🧵washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
This was a bit of a subtweet, also (hint: Collins was there for 12 years, Fauci has been there for 37).
Then there was this shambles of an interview...
Is... is this hope I'm feeling?
Thanks @DsordrlyConduck

Is Ivermectin enthusiasm research founded upon fraudulent research?🧵

This investigation from the BBC, citing research by @GidMK @sTeamTraen @JackMLawrence @K_Sheldrick and @jamesheathers, claims the answer is yes.

Let's dive in and see what we find. bbc.com/news/health-58…
I don't tend to list credentials, but in case this is read by academics, and this makes a difference, I'll mention that I have a PhD in Computing. Google says that the papers I wrote in my ~3 year publishing run have been cited 865 times and that my h-index is 11.
The BBC article is laced with the usual anti-ivm talking points I've addressed in other threads, and I will assume that they have been added by the journalist. In this thread, I'll focus on the fraud claims, which are sourced to the investigations of the group.

Every day we get another step closer to intentionally causing backlash on all vaccines. 🤦 To define as "anti-vaxxers" ~40% of Americans, knowing the effect labels have on beliefs, is simply criminal. 🧵
Here's the detailed numbers if you want to see them.
Labeling is a typical strategy used in bullying and the labels themselves can have an effect on an individual's behavior. psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2020-…

What if... HealthNerd's investigation into IVM is actually vindicating IVM instead of proving it fraudulent? Well, A BMJ article claims we should expect 20% medical research to be Fraud. That's more than HN has found out of the studies he researched. Not randomized, but even so.
Yes, this is tongue in cheek. But this is the kind of background work he should have done before dragging the names of hundreds of researchers through the mud. Without a baseline, the implication is that we're looking for 0% bad papers, which is a fallacy. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_rate…
It's OK. It's not like there's a literal pandemic going on and many of these researchers are trying to help, but don't speak English as their first language, nor understand social media. After they get piled on, they'll get the message.

Donation drive is on! HealthNerd's accolytes are swarming my thread on their hero, and are definitely being incredibly constructive. This time we'll do a mass banning, because they're out in numbers.

How to master uncertainty for fun and profit.🧵

The world is a weird place, and it might just get weirder. Pretending we can control it guarantees we'll fail to make the most of what it has to offer.

Instead, start by accepting the uncertainty, and surf the wave.🌊
Enablement over control.

Instead of trying to figure out how you can control what others will think or do, understand what they need, and provide them with tools that help them be better.
Experience over expertise.

Instead of looking at credentials and authorities, see what people have a proven track record of doing at a high level. After all, real expertise should be easy to prove in practice, without being patronizing or dismissive.

Modernity is uncertainty denialism.

To escape it, we're willing to give almost everything up.

I hope "almost".🧵
We dismiss Enablement in favor of Control.
We dismiss Embodiment in favor of the Intellectual
