I read it. I want my time back.
This is the worst kind of misinformation, the one that reads "reasonable" instead of foaming at the mouth, and as such can create doubt in peer-validated articles and reports that quote from them.
"I was deceived" indeed.
- pc86 5y agoI am immediately skeptical of anything that has to use an analogy like friends stealing stuff from a party just to explain a point, especially when that point is "ignore that none of these pieces of evidence are particularly convincing on their own." But even so I didn't really think of anything in here as "misinformation." What specifically is wrong? Edit because apparently HN's knee-jerk downvoting applies to this instance as well: I'm triple-vaxxed and think everyone's default should be to get the vaccine unless their PCP or a specialist tells them specifically not to get it, I'm just curious what the incorrect info is other than "well it's cropped obv"
- hraedon 5y agoI mean, literally the first chart is so misleadingly cropped that it makes the opposite point in this article than it does in the original study. Edit for the above comment's edit: look, if a deceptively cropped chart doesn't qualify as "misinformation" for your purposes, I guess I'll leave you to do your own research.
