I see a lot of health-related signatures on the list. Is this a backlash because of the findings against homeopathy?
First, the authors are well-known in the area. Sander Greenland is a major figure in epidemiology methods, etc.
Second, there's been a push there, historically, to get rid of p-values because the field is primarily more focused on effect estimation, rather than pure hypothesis testing, so p-values are particularly poorly suited.

that have led to various national health systems refusing to pay for homeopathic treatment.
The studies are almost universally p-value based.
