This stuff is exactly why I loved statistics in college!
The frustrating thing is, there is no way to verbalize the meaning of this data, without immediately being labeled a 'bigoted right-winger'.
People just don't want to hear it. I tend to believe all people have the capability to understand this nuance. Unfortunately, they openly refuse, because it contradicts their perceptions.
It's honestly kind of scary.
- alecst 5y agoWhat do you think would get you labeled as a right-winger? (I submitted the article, I liked it, and I'm not right-wing.)
- playguardin 5y agoI'm right wing and I liked it so... Great choice!
- __blockcipher__ 5y agoI imagine they meant even mentioning a statistic like “60% of those hospitalized are vaccinated” at all would get them labelled that way.
