That was exactly what I zeroed in on as well.

If you give these bastards a nanometer of space thinking they will practice goodwill, they will open it up to a channel ten miles wide.

There was another blog by Califf, on randomized controlled trials (RTCs).

I cant find it (hopefully some has it bookmarked), but there was a story about “scientists” trying to take down randomized controlled trials (RCTs) as the Gold Standard for research, in favor of “real world data.” The reason, per the story, was that for (I think it was) masks, RCTs revealed masks to be useless. But, by using RWD or real world evidence(?), “scientists” could rig the results, erm, have a clearer picture.
