‘Big Short’ Michael Burry Has a Bearish Bet and Warns of a Selling Stampede

"“I have had a significant bearish market bet that is working out for now,” Burry said in an email interview, without providing further details on the trade except to say it was a trade of a “good size” against indexes. “A global pandemic is absolutely a potential trigger for the unwinding of the passive investing bubble. With Covid-19, the hysteria appears to me worse than the reality, but after the stampede, it won’t matter whether what started it justified it.”"

What do you guys think on this? It seems quite clear to me that passive investing most definitely has had to lead to certain distortions, but I'm just not sure if it's severe enough to do anything. I love the idea of an ETF, it's an easy way to diversify, and yet now I'm considering to exit certain of my ETF positions. Is this the panic that talking or should i be justifiably scared.
