It is interesting to me the inverse reactions to statistics. There is (was) a proportion that advocated the small risk of getting covid. ‘It’s only fatal 0.01% of the population.’ That small fraction of a percent was negligible then. A 0.000001% chance of serious clotting is an issue now?
I would like to understand the continuity between these two perspectives. Do they exist in the same population? Or is it better understood by a flow chart of “if you deny covid is real, then you’re likely to say the 0.01% is negligible. If you’re resistant to the vaccine, then more likely you’ve still followed mask and distance protocol? That sort of thinking? I don’t understand either, but at least that makes more sense to me than a populace that is that fucking bad at understanding rates.
