The article begins by praising some pandemic successes, but quickly turns to the downsides, noting correctly that “The consequences for education, healthcare, small businesses, social life and democratic politics itself were often disastrous.” As a result, shocking disparities in health outcomes are appearing: “life expectancy for men in London’s affluent neighborhoods is 18 years longer than for those in poor areas.”
After setting the table, Ioannidis and his co-authors made their central point, and it was hotter than English mustard:
Allow me to repeat that: “science itself may have become a threat to overall population health.”
He’s exactly correct, and bless him for saying so. Ioannidis’s comment was also particularly timely in light of the Sunday Times’ lengthy weekend exposé of “fresh evidence” of covid’s origins as a Chinese military bioweapon, which, until about ten minutes ago, it was domestic terrorism to point that out.
Dr. Ioannidis, a highly-credentialed and accomplished scientist, who among other praiseworthy things was the only reliable source during the pandemic of the REAL covid infection fatality rate, has survived the cancellation wars. Now it’s his turn. Ioannidis and other thoughtful scientists like him have quitely initiated the next phase of the war: reclaiming science from politics.
