relative risk reduction versus absolute risk reduction. Now there is real racism out there, so I am well aware of the crazy attempts to associate common sense with racism, but let's be mindful that there also real racism. I've seen it as a witness, I've heard from people of color I've known over the years, and I've experienced blatant, probably bot/troll but also some potentially actual human-driven anti-semetism myself on my own bitchute channel, which I believe is probably most trolls attempting to make liking Nazis okay in Ukraine etc by depicting all Jewish people as the cabal, but still, it was there, in hideous form. So all this is complex and it's just good to be aware of the big picture.
You are so right. Heck, World War II was all about racism, on every side. You would have thought we would have done anything but weaponize it, but hey, cycles repeat.
Thirty eight years in medial care and I saw more racism than folks would believe.
But you know, the only patient I could have absolutely positively tagged as a "white supremacist" was a really big biker dude from South Africa who asked if he could pay his Rx bill in krugerrands. I told him I doubt I have change, he handed me three twenties and I handed him back two of them along with something like $13.79 in change. It was 1983.
Penicillin wasn't that expensive.
Subscribed, my girlfriend says you are right about the chocolate thing.
Heheheh :) Thank you for your apropos reflections and for subscribing! They say be the change you want to see in the world, and I was looking around like, "Who is telling the truth but also focusing on love? Who is focusing on love but also like to use the f bomb?" Tell your girlfriend she can come over and have some chocolate with me someday. One of the most insidious forms of white supremacy is actually the people who linguistically sell themselves as in support of marginalized groups but in underhanded/backhanded (too many tennis analogies) ways they set them back or undermine those very same groups. I know someone in the medical profession who was on the equity committee for quite some time and all they did was talk and make it seem like coming up with new statements was actually going to improve peoples lives, while it would be easy for a common person to think of a million ways to make life easier on those who suffer as a result of certain disadvantages, but you'd have to give a little power to the people on the ground to make it work, instead of keeping it all up at admin. The weird thing is the CEO is a white man who has a black son, so it's remarkable that he seems sincere yet unable actually move the dial much.
Is it just me, or did they screw up the basic math going from IFR to understate the corresponding survival rates?
Decimals vs percents, gang. Basic stuff. Explains a lot.
"Math?" You expect them to use "math?"
Wouldn't that be "racist" or something?

CDC swings and misses (by a factor of 100x). Ouch!
