It’s lockdown and now no lockdown. Could be anything. All observational studies are wrong. The stated limitations are fatal flaws. You heard it here first in HN. All medical research is fatally flawed, says user “timr”.

No, but most of them are wrong, and all of them need to be treated with an incredibly high degree of skepticism. This is critical review 101. When you push on this paper, even lightly, it falls over.
