Edit: I'm not saying denyccc is good! I'm pointing out that Lancet is bad too. Lancet has killed more people with its decade long defense of the Wakefield autism vaccine hoax than all the good it has done with its legitimate research.
defyccc is barely this side of Alex Jones with their conspiracy theorizing absurd caricatures:
They invented a theory that CO2 is called a "greenhouse gas" because farmers use CO2 in fertilizer, not because it increases temperature like a greenhouse and then without any source attribute that theory to climate scientists.
Edit: Gelman has posted 3 articles on this topic in the past 2 days.
(The guy is prolific! He also publishes about 1 paper per month over his decades long career)
Tangents:
What is all this?
> The beauty-and-sex-ratio research, the ovulation-and-voting research, embodied cognition, himmicanes, ESP, air rage, Bible Code, the celebrated work of Andrew Wakefield, the Evilicious guy, the gremlins dude—all peer-reviewed.
Laundry list of utterly bogus papers that were published and not retracted or not due years where the authors probabky also doubled down on un-reproduceable garbage.
Wakefield published papers on the link between vaccines and autism, do example (I believe, mercifully not familiar with it),
The point being that Andrew Gelman doesn't seem to have an agenda. The Lancet paper looks unconvincing to him and his gang of stats nerds who read and post there.
The WHO are convinced, however. Should they be given the data is closed and appears suspect. (Maybe it isn't, but how do we know that for sure, when it looks really odd..?)
