It's you. That half the world has no better healthcare system than Iran is a sad reflection on the state of healthcare in world, not an implication that Iran's dilapidated and overstretched healthcare system\* is a good one. Combine that with their authoritarian government with zero communications skills and no credibility due to being habitual liars, and we should place no stock in their reassurances/projections, and very little stock even in their hard-to-fuck-up stats like # of deaths.
\* I should say this is anecdata, based on comments by several Iranian friends and acquaintances.
- jmiskovic 7y agoI'm not defending Iran's healthcare system. The info I was able to dig up places it as above average, which means that more than 50% of world population will be affected just as bad or worse. Dismissing Iran's data point as not useful takes a specific viewpoint that I consider not empathic enough for my tastes, but everyone is free to disagree.
