This is a weekly reminder it's been:

103 DAYS since Dr. Ioannidis @METRICStanford
conducted a study that concluded people <65 have an *extremely* low risk of COVID-19 death even in hotbeds, so our strategy should be to focus solely on high-risk elderly individuals.

We didn't listen to him. We ignored him. We've lost over 60,000 lives just in nursing homes. These people were our parents & grandparents. They didn't deserve our incompetence or to die alone as we scrambled to figure out something we were already told.

94 DAYS since Drs. Ioannidis, Bhattacharya, @ebdStanford
conducted study that concluded virus is *much* more widespread than believed. Recently, CDC stated actual # of infections is 10x more than # of confirmed cases, meaning 30 million people have had the virus & recovered.
Last week, FL published seroprevalence study showing 16% of residents had virus (two months ago NYC said 20%). What does it mean? Millions of Americans had virus & recovered: virus was never ever as deadly as WHO/Fauci said it was and herd immunity likely.

62 DAYS since Dr. Ioannidis conducted a study that concluded Infection Fatality Rate (IFR), probability of dying for a person who's infected, is about .2%, the equivalent of a seasonal flu. For most Americans, it means you have 99.8% chance of survival. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.13.20101253v1.full.pdf
For each of the 3 studies, Ioannidis & his team @METRICStanford produced a revised version based on feedback from colleagues. Why? Because that's what scientists do. They conduct a study, fine-tune study, publish findings & repeat study. This is science. These are real scientists
. @realDonaldTrump What does this all mean? Respectfully, sir, it means many people around you claimed to follow the science, but in reality they did not. It means we should follow the actual scientists who got it right, not ones who consistently get it wrong then move goalposts.
Folks, please help me RT this thread. I don't care about RTs & Likes, but I do care about truth. This thread is the truth & includes 3 actual truthful studies conducted by some of the best scientists in our nation. RT & perchance our President or someone close to him will see it.
