Already did, in fact **I** brought up the replication crisis first in this thread about an hour ago.. nice try though.

@ew

There are countless different types of tests that can be employed, I did not state what test was used, which shows why you are not a reliable person to discuss this with. Instead of **asking** what test was used and the reliability of the test you just cherry picked some noise about some random test without any understanding if it was even the test involved in the analysis I described.. can you not see how that makes you an unreliable source of any judgement on this?

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@cowanon

We could certainly go into the details of any one data set, the processes are well documented with good reason. But that is outside the scope of what was being asked. Ew listed a very specific set of concerns taken from a specific article that criticizes one specific data set. That was debunked quickly by showing my conclusions were unrelated from the data set being referenced.. so anything else is a tangent to that, one im fine going on, but only once everyone involved understands and admits why my response invalidates the link as relevant to my assertion.

@TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @pthenq1 @mystik @ew

@ew

by using tests that are able to determine if they have the disease combines with the circumstances of the death which tends to involve a second test to show the viral load had increased since the first, and by monitoring symptoms...

When someone is in the ICU from falling down th steps they will have very different symptoms then if they are there because the virus has progressed, the viral load will also be different.

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@ew

No thats not what I said... I will repeat the rebuke a second time since your too emotional to see it..

All your concerns and the link were directed at the CDC's data set.. true or not, I (and the scientists I trust) did not use the data set or the process you accused of being inaccurate. Therefore I was able to arrive at my conclusion without any of your concerns being relevant since they apply to a data set I did not use.

There, now understand why your point was so easily dismissed? Or are you still going to pretend you dont understand why your whole argument and the article has no relevance to my statement?

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@ew

Umm ok, I guess that explains why "no one ever debunked your link"... apparently lots of people do you just pretend like they didnt and then go one some tantrum that makes no sense... cool seems we are at an impasse then, im not sure your capable of understanding why your wrong no matter what I say.

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@ew

Taking large samples of people and testing them to objectively verify how many have the disease, then track who survives is not anecdotal, that would be the exact opposite of anecdotal actually.

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@cowanon

What the fuck are you talking about.. I literally opposed Biden the whole election and pointed out his inappropriate touching of children on several occasions.

@TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @pthenq1 @mystik @ew

@ew

As I stated before your talking about a data set that I didnt een use to come up with the figure I stated.. so any inaccuracies in it really isnt relevant to the assertion in the first place, im not using the source your accusing, so its moot.

Second, the number of cases are irrelevant, my statement is about your chance of survival if you catch the diseases (mortality rate) and therefore is uneffected by the number of people in the general population who get the diseases.

Third, when calculating mortality to ensure we get utmost accuracy we use a more restrictive dataset that only inclues the people who are actually tested to ensure we are measuring influenza or covid.

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@mystik

Nice try but I said nothing of the sort, try learning to read and you wont look like an idiot next time.

@ew @cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @pthenq1

@ew

What the fuck are you on about.. I read it, why are you pretending to be psychic and telling me what I did and did not read... I asked you if you are asking me a question about what you posted. Are you trying to ask **me** while they are bundled, you seemed to answer your own question so im asking what are you asking me? Or are you going to deflect again and tell me I didnt read ?

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@ew

Are you asking me a question?

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@ew

sorry to disappoint your psychic abilities but I sure did. In fact its a rather old article and isnt even the first time I came across it

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@ew

Its pretty easy to respond to really. Neither I nor most data scientists rely on CDC data at all. It is one tiny blip across countless data sets and only when they all agree do we draw conclusions from it.

@cowanon @TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @mystik @pthenq1

@mystik

You clearly have no idea how data science works at all...

@TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @pthenq1 @ew

@mystik

huh? that chart doesnt even compare mortaility rate of the common flu to covid.. its showing overall deaths not deaths due to covid or the flu specifically...

Happy to consider your points but you really need to know how this stuff works first and how to do analysis.

@TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @pthenq1 @ew

@mystik

What about it? My shit was green the day after I went on mastodon for the first time.. therefore mastodon makes your shit green I guess.

@TruthAndFreedom@masthead.social @pthenq1 @ew

@lupyuen man your on fire with the content lately!

@pthenq1

COVID is about 10x worse than the flu.. not the end of the world, but bad enough to take seriously.
