| John Ioannidis is a weird case. His work on the replication crisis across many domains was seminal and important. His contrarian, even conspiratorial take on COVID-19 not so much. |

It's just been unfairly villainized by the political left in the USA. [1] "that" == just concluding that he's gone crazy because it doesn't align with your prior beliefs. | |
