The point of science is that by looking at the data you can draw logical conclusions and actions. By “making his own call”, Ioannidis has thrown that out the window. Instead of presenting the data clearly and getting scientific consensus, he has tried to backdoor the process and go straight to the White House. Even the data he has collected has been widely criticized as skewed. Ioannidis is an influential scientist but he is not a politician or a policy maker, this isn’t his call to make.
