Your contrived example is by far the easiest one to tackle. Simply allow the people who are worried enough about this disease to keep topping up their vaccinations. The people who live in projects next to the freeway don't have it as

What if we built a device that could trace a particle from your car's exhaust and could tell you if that particle lodged itself in someone's lung at just the right moment to cause a stroke? Or how about a device that could trace

Is there any proposed logic behind the difference in thresholds between the two groups? It seems designed to do just one thing - overestimate cases in the unvaccinated, and underestimate cases in the vaccinated. What is the actual rationa

Do you think we have the least entropy when we are born, or when we're at peak physical and mental performance, like mid 20's to mid 30's?
