To one of the COVID-19 studies posted?

I apologize if I was not clear. Ioannidis published the article as a clarion call to be on guard (in part) for studies that originate from a bias. He aptly notes, generally:

"Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias."

and specifically:

"Research is not most appropriately represented and summarized by p-values, but, unfortunately, there is a widespread notion that medical research articles should be interpreted based only on p-values."

I posted the link as a reminder that all research needs to be viewed with a critical, thoughtful eye. That does not mean the study is not useful or valid.
