@AlexBerenson @NellieBowles @TheFP Oh the horrors

[Chas Bartsch @BartschChas]

@AlexBerenson "Finally tested after 20 years" is just false—Tamiflu has dozens of RCTs, none in the ICU till now. That gap is the actual story. The mortality signal is real but borderline (OR barely clears 1, unblinded, sicker controls). Worth updating ICU practice; not the fraud you think.

[Chas Bartsch @BartschChas]

@AlexBerenson Also, Tamiflu was never licensed to treat severe infection (ie. the patients in the REMAP-CAP trial) so to imply there's deception on Roche's part is not true

[Chas Bartsch @BartschChas]

@AlexBerenson Naive reading. Severe flu pathology is largely host inflammation + secondary infection, and you're intervening late in that cascade by the time patients are hospitalized. Doesn't negate the trial—but it bounds how much an antiviral can do at that stage.

@AlexBerenson This is a poorly framed question since there are a lot of factors involved in selecting a comparator. You need to specify the indication. For example, an Ebola vaccine trial would look different then a Rhinovirus trial

@AlexBerenson Comparing against an existing vaccine is actually a higher bar than inert placebo

@AlexBerenson It rewards kids who come from stable homes and whose parents can afford to pay for test preparation services.

[Chas Bartsch @BartschChas]

@AlexBerenson By "no one" you probably mean your gullible audience

[Chas Bartsch @BartschChas]

@AlexBerenson There was also 1 drowning, 4 limb fractures, 1 alcohol poisoning, 1 stab wound, 1 hip deformity and 1 jaw operation.

@AlexBerenson WRT infectious disease, your version of medical autonomy is the same as saying you have the right to shite in a crowded subway car

@AlexBerenson By this logic tourists are bringing "Montezuma's Revenge" to Mexico
