David Crowe | Coronavirus COVID-19: The Risks, The Testing, & The Treatments

Mathematical Modelers, John Ioannidis and Media Anger

Crowe criticizes mathematical modelers for using unreliable numbers to create "scary" scenarios of total population wipeouts. He cites Dr. John Ioannidis, a mainstream critic who has questioned the data used for the coronavirus response. Crowe observes that the press becomes angry when presented with data that suggests the virus might be less deadly than predicted, as they prefer the most sensational narrative.
