Thiemo Fetzer<p>As society we need to learn to get better at making policy making evidence based. We need to increase transparency as there are tons of potential conflicts of interests when it comes to public procurement. As taxpayers we need to demand good stewardship of these resources.</p><p><a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/Immensa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Immensa</span></a> <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/COVID19" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>COVID19</span></a> <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/Testing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Testing</span></a> <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/Dantelabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Dantelabs</span></a> <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/COVID19Inquiry" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>COVID19Inquiry</span></a></p>
Thiemo Fetzer<p>I am going to share this as I think there is a much wider point to make. Last year, I studied the <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/Immensa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Immensa</span></a> <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/Dantelabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Dantelabs</span></a> <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/COVID19" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>COVID19</span></a> testing scandal. </p><p>A large <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/PCR" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PCR</span></a> lab basically produced tons of <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/FalseNegatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FalseNegatives</span></a> -- see my thread from last year:</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/fetzert/status/1460166688423489538" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">twitter.com/fetzert/status/146</span><span class="invisible">0166688423489538</span></a></p><p>Today the <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/Inquiry" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Inquiry</span></a> results came out. Wrong equipment settings were to blame. This is what produced the <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/FalseNegatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FalseNegatives</span></a>. </p><p>More importantly, there is now an <a href="https://econtwitter.net/tags/Epidemiology" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Epidemiology</span></a> paper with *13* <br />@UKHSA<br />authors.
