Reply to comment by Lightweightecon in Most COVID-19 trial preprints were eventually published, and the conclusions mostly stayed the same. But preprint studies with smaller numbers of participants (sample size) and higher risk of bias were less likely to be published. by MistWeaver80

The possibility of bias is the same, emergency or not. Preprint shouldn't be used to make policy. Incentives should be given to peer review important preprints.

while I get what you're saying, sometimes policy needs to happen prior to publication. pre publication can serve a valuable purpose while waiting on review
