I am fairly certain that he is aware that he has made a serious error in misinterpreting the CDC WVAL as proportional to RNA concentration, which is a central assumption of his analysis. Given that he persists in publishing his estimates, I'd say that's some evidence of probable bad faith.
Did you ask him about this? And how long is the CDC with its current administration trustworthy anyway? Thank you anyway for your explanations. I can need them for my blog.
He has blocked me. But he's been tagged in a few dozen posts on this over the last year on X and Bluesky, so I presume he knows.
The CDC is still publishing the same products with the same methodology as they did in the Biden administration. Sure, we should be skeptical, but there's no sign that there's been a change to how covid data are reported.
