"Shootout at the OK Corral" this Sat, 9am PST on X Spaces
I'll face all comers this Sat. But I doubt I'll get anyone who has the courage to show up to challenge my analysis. One of us will be embarrassed and it won't be me.
Since nobody would agree to debate me in a recorded Zoom call, I'm going to have a "Shootout" on Saturday. Register on X.

I will come armed with the data and the analysis tools I used. Register your interest on X so it is in plain sight.
No ad hominem attacks. No switching topics.
Anyone using insults or personal attacks will be ejected.
Trying to switch the topic like “Let’s talk about Sweden…” will get you ejected.
This is a respectful debate on the data, methods, and interpretation on the NZ data and my analysis of that data as posted on the data download site.
You will have 5 minutes of total talk time as will I. When your time is up, you leave the stage. We’ll use a chess clock to track the times.
To attack my analysis…
You may attack any or all of:
the underlying dataset,
the obfuscation technique using to preserve statistical fidelity
the methodology (time-series cohort analysis)
the execution (e.g., error in buckets.py or the v4 spreadsheet),
the interpretation of the what the data visualizations tell us.
As far as I know, this is all airtight.
The excuses they give
“Science isn’t decided by debate”…. “Let’s do it in writing.” …. “It has to be decided in the peer-reviewed literature” etc etc.
What a bunch of BS. The real reason is because they don’t know what the #$# they are talking about. None of these people can think independently on their feet.
In medical school, they all went through something called “Morning Report” where they challenged each other verbally in real time.
How quickly they forget.
Summary
I hope someone registers. I win either way. All the attempts to attack this are ridiculously weak.
And on Saturday, the world will see first-hand.
Real Truther is not really one person, he has a gang. If you haven't heard the Truther Gang in action they have a X space to denigrate anti-vaxxers. They also invite them on X with pretend politeness. When they come in Truther Gang talks over them and asks stupid questions. I'm paraphrasing from memory but Steve Kirsch went in a while ago and spent about 15 minutes saying "are you going to let me talk?" while they listed questions, talked over him and said "ok, you have no answer on that" without letting him speak. They went on and on about NZ having no deaths.
Steve finally got these words in "show me the record level data for NZ." That was about all he got to say while they denigrated and talked over him, making fun of record level data (because they figured it would never come out.) Later they claimed debate victory (there was no debate) and made a joke X account called Record Level Data who said in a post something like "I'm so lonely, Steve can't find me!" Their "logic" was to pretend the record level data would agree with them but nobody will ever see it so they win.
When Steve Kirsch got the record level data from NZ a short time later my jaw hit the floor.
If Truther Gang comes into this X space get a bucket to puke in. You might need it.
They won't come mate, so in the event of that happening, set up your own Steve Kirsch asks Steve Kirsch the hard questions that they should ask you if they had the gonads. That'll be fun & it pokes fun @ them even more.
