Good luck. Anyone even slightly out of the mainstream will get shamed into oblivion. Just look at the 2 Bakersfield doctors this week.

- rlp 6y agoBut those doctors clearly don't have a good grasp of basic statistics. You cannot extrapolate cases for a whole state based on test results from a non-random sampling of people. They are making a basic error and claiming to be experts, that deserves some shaming in my book.
- pbreit 6y agoEveryone seems to be doing that from NYC data. IHME_UW has been making massive errors and no one seems to mind.
- rlp 6y agoNo, they aren't. That's why those two were called out. Not sure how IHME's mistakes come in to play here. If they are making mistakes, they should be called out as well.
