@BallouxFrancois @davecurtis314 Balloux, if there was a flaw in the paper Mr Curtis would have made a PRECISE point, as I did with you, not some vague comment about the presentation. — PolitiTweet.org

@davecurtis314 @BallouxFrancois Dave Curtis, imbecile, 1- Stat/math journals do not have impact factors comparable to medicine (there are 100 times more bullshitting doctors like you than statisticians). IJF is among the top. 2- Explain why I should care about what epidemiologists think? — PolitiTweet.org

@NickHudsonCT @TLennhamn @BallouxFrancois So why the fuck are you imparting statements I did not make? And opinions I DO NOT HAVE? OF COURSE known situation warrants a lower level of precaution (less uncertainty) and more targeted mitigation, no lockdowns. — PolitiTweet.org

@CarlABrannen @Mazza6069 May get concave somewhere, not here & depends how you scale. Log[yield]= \alpha Log[size] so yield =size^\alpha here >1 hence convex at least within range, up till the Taylor limit. https://t.co/0fpzET0aij — PolitiTweet.org

4) When I call pple idiots, they have earned it, BSF ("BS-Frankie @BallouxFrancois). For every location, relative changes in Covid fatalities proved > 100 time higher than relative Δ road deaths. https://t.co/EHSizkLTc2 — PolitiTweet.org

2) The other thing this marshmallowbrained "Prof" @BallouxFrancois doesn't get is that the # of people who died from COVID accounts for mitigation & risk control measures. It's like saying: we don't need security checks since planes aren't crashing. https://t.co/0MASA5N0MS — PolitiTweet.org
