Scientist Chris von Csefalvay is bashing the infamous Imperial College coronavirus model created by British epidemiologist Dr. Neil Ferguson, calling it "somewhere between negligence and unintentional but grave scientific misconduct."
Ferguson's mathematical model projected catastrophic death tolls rising into the millions - including in the U.S. - and was used as the foundation for massive lockdowns in the U.K. and around the world. Ferguson has since
resigned from his role as an adviser to the British government after breaking quarantine rules to meet his married lover, liberal activist Antonia Staats,
The Telegraph reports.
Csefalvay, a virologist and clinical computational epidemiologist, is now slamming Ferguson on his personal blog, as well as the British government for accepting such a flawed model as reason to shut down the entire country:
For those who are not in the computational fields: “my code is too complicated for you to get it” is not an acceptable excuse. It is the duty of everyone who releases code to document it – within the codebase or outside (or a combination of the two). Greater minds than Neil Ferguson (with all due respect) have a tough enough time navigating a large code base, and especially where you have collaborators, it is not unusual to need a second or two to remember what a particular function is doing or what the arguments should be like. Or, to put it more bluntly: for thirteen years, taxpayer funding from the MRC went to Ferguson and his team, and all it produced was code that violated one of the most fundamental precepts of good software development – intelligibility.
