Right? It’s baffling more people don’t own up to having been wrong and that you had been correct. Is it that they still don’t know? Is it that they have somehow forgotten? Do a huge number of people have pronounced personality deficits?

I think ego plays a large role. One of my coworkers (infectious diseases doc) actually told me at one point "I think you would agree that I should know about viral infections a bit more than you. That is why I see things you can't yet." This sentiment (sent in an email) is very disturbing. There is NO way she will ever admit she was wrong.
Pfizer was very good at "working" the data, but they left nuggets along the way that showed lack of clinical efficacy (their RCT showed NO reduction in hospitalizations or death). Observation studies (which are inherently biased) were used to "prove" efficacy, but such studies do not prove the evidence-based results that RCTs do, so between observational studies and RCTs, only RCTs should be used as the basis of public policy.
