The problems should have been caught by a statistician, not even immunologist. The mistake in paper is essentially a base rate fallacy.

- username90 5y agoDoctors usually don't know statistics so when they review papers like this they don't see any issue. They do it on paper but not in practice. You see it in most published medical papers, no matter the bias or leaning, but the only time we get up in arms over it is when it supports causes we think are wrong.
