The irony is I am very much against degrees and tell people they shouldnt bother getting them **if** they can learn the material at a n expert level on their own. Just gave that advice yesterday in fact.
I also dont usually bring up my degrees outside of the STEM community.

As I stated, im half indian, obviously its my other half that came over on the mayflower. My non-indian half is quite famous and there are quite a few lineage books written about that half of my family. so it would be rather trivial for you to verify.
@MechaSilvio @yaksha
To be fair a lot of the best engineers are scientists (and some of the best arent). I make **way** more money off of the clients that give me more engineering-type work than the research science i do. In fact the science i do is largely to ensure I get better pay when consulting on engineering projects.

Need to, of course not.. get pleasure out of pieces of shit who dont have two brain cells to rub together knowing they are a waste of space... of course.
@MechaSilvio @TurboNormie @yaksha
Well I just did the actual math for you (albeit slightly simplified). I literally showed why you'd **expect** it in the case of israel.
@yaksha
Sorry can't hear you over the waves crashing against my yacht, speak up please.
@MechaSilvio @TurboNormie @yaksha
There are countless people out there more successful than me. But this guy clearly isnt one of them.
@MechaSilvio @sickburnbro @yaksha
If 90% of the susceptible population is vaccinated.
The vaccines are about 72% effective overall and 86% effective against severe infection.
Threfore out of 1000 people, assuming everyone is being exposed to the virus, then you'd expect 252 people who were vaccinated to contract covid and only 100 vaccinated people.
In other words with the real world numbers, even with the vaccines being significantly effective, we would see 2.5x **more** people showing up in hospitals that are vaccinated with covid than unvaccinated.
Come on now this isnt complicated stuff!
@yaksha
Ohhh, I train others to SCUBA dive as well as collect samples for scientific study.
@MechaSilvio @yaksha
Aww poor boy who never accomplished a damn thing in his life is sad cause his poor ego is bruised to see people who are successful.
@sickburnbro @yaksha
@yaksha
No, your numbers arent even remotely accurate... What are your STEM credentials exactly? I find it hard to beleive you can be this bad with numbers and actually be in STEM.
Data Science, much of which has been in the healthcare sector and specifically on disease proliferation.
@MechaSilvio @yaksha
@yaksha
**wrong** far far less than half of the people vaccinated contract significant cases of covid later on.
Please stop spewing false numbers.
I never once claimed the issue didnt exist. In fact I had mentioned there are issues to be addressed in some areas of science before you even brought it up (and the replication crisis in psychology was what i was thinking of when I said it).
Dont put words in my mouth.
@SneedsterSpeedster @yaksha
I mean, your not exactly smart enough to assess peoples grade level, so not really gonna care.
@yaksha
I really am not phased by insults from people who struggle understanding very basic things. So go for it.
@yaksha
Nope... I wonder if you can spot why thats bad data? Would you even listen if i explained it to you... probably not... Hint: That chart isnt normalized and thus you cant use it to make inferences. You would have to compare infection rates according to a fixed sample size of each country in order to get remotely accurate data.
@yaksha
I have this argument with random plebs at least once a month. I've "skimmed" through the wikipedia article more times than I can count. Not to mention actual scholarly sources on the topic. Its not a new topic.
