It's funny that the wildly overestimated IFRs like 3.4%, which were taken as gospel in the early days of the pandemic and drove the actual policy of sweeping shutdowns of schools, preventive medical care, and the economy at large -- a totally experimental and unprecedented measure with no empirical evidence whatsoever to demonstrate the benefits would outweigh the costs -- are not subjected to this same label of "hubris".
Iaonnidis's estimates of IFR in the 0.1% to 0.2% range were much closer to the mark.
