Is there a source that shows there’s even a correlation? Please link one if there is—perhaps I missed it. The reports I’ve seen don’t suggest any—e.g. bmj report.
From what (little) I’ve seen, this seems to be evidence for the hypothesis “Anecdotes frequently cause officials with bad incentives to make harmful decisions”.
I probably could have worded things much better on that. No, to my knowledge no one has claimed or performed some type of correlation calculations on the data. The reference here was to one of the LW posts a little while back.
