I keep saying we need to stop following the case numbers because the highly flawed PCR tests will do nothing but create needless concern and fear. The far more accurate and proper way to assess disease impacts is either ICU admissions or mortalities. Case in point, we have been hearing the news about rising issues in Isreal even though people are triple vaxxed. Although I usually post facts against that vaccine at are so prevalent, math is math, and facts are facts. Although cases are rising in Israel again, the mortalities are not alarming at all. Further, when making a simple comparison to 2018 mortalities due to the Flu and its complications, it becomes quickly evident, there were more than eight times the deaths due to the Flu than there were in 2020 due to COVID. So once again, they are using the PCR test as a weapon to create fear and make for good news. If your news station is still reporting case numbers, it’s time for another news source.
As a naturally curious person with an analytical mindset, I have found myself drawn to the complexities of data presentation and the impact it has on our decision-making processes. I am particularly intrigued by the potential for mismatched framing to mislead in areas as diverse as health, politics, and finance. Beyond the desire to access accurate information, I believe in the importance of clear communication and aim to help others grasp the nuances of absolute and relative risks.
Continual learning is a cornerstone of my philosophy, and I strive to stay updated with current events. This is reflected in my active participation in discussions on various topics, ranging from the pharmaceutical industry to the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. My hope is that my ability to think critically and commitment to uncovering the truth can offer something of value to readers.
Please note that while I strive for accuracy and clarity, I'm always open to other perspectives and willing to engage in respectful discourse to broaden my understanding and appreciation of the complexities around us.
