“Nobody knows the truth — let’s be honest,” Dr. Ioannidis said of the prevalence figures. “But if I had to guess, I would say it is probably higher than our estimate.”

Also, shout-out to @nytimes for getting quotes from two co-authors of this not yet peer-reviewed study but none of the people who have pointed out its problems.
