When are you going to learn that not all doctors are equally
authoritative?

Marty Makary is an oncologist, not an epidemiologist.

But the story was reported up by a libtard reporter on a libtard news
outlet...how much proof do you need?

You want the story co-signed and notarized by a purple-haired fact
checker?

Yes. Given the quantity and quality of much information, it should be
checked by a couple of people that know something about the subject.

Especially when the source is an oncologist. Reminds me of Trump's
radiologist
that he was having put out statements and listening to for advice.

Especially since mathematics is so important to epidemiology,
and with oncology I think all you have to know that is
mathematical is that cancers grow at different rates.

That's not accurate. You also need to know how effective
particular cancer treatments are from the clinical stats.

The math for disease transmission, herd
immunity, etc. is much more complicated.

That's very arguable too.

But yes, his prediction of when the USA will have herd immunity is stupid.

As are lots of his other stuff not about covid.
