because it feels like you're being a valuable skeptic, even though you aren't?

because you think "just asking questions," the way scare political news commentators, delivers something positive?

because you think the work of scientists should be judged based on the debunking of a source that has nothing to do with the science you're openly questioning?

because you've become so comfortable explaining your behavior to people who are openly telling you to your face that it's not appropriate that you don't even hear them saying "this isn't appropriate" anymore?

> prior reports have emphasized an important distinction

I took a look at your new link, and I don't see any important distinction being emphasized.

THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION FOR YOU TO EXPLAIN.

This is me saying "nothing is being emphasized to the point that someone who, unlike you, has domain specific training can even notice it."

In reality, you've hyper-focused on some irrelevant detail, and now you're desperately trying to figure out why that irrelevant detail isn't present other places.

"Well yes, don't you see? Sure, this paper is about fuel efficiency, but this one doesn't cover kerosene cars, and the other one emphasized an important distinction about kerosene cars"

In reality it's likely to be some detail the paper put in to silence a different walrus.

Yes, I see that you quoted a random statistical detail about age groups and likelihoods.

You want to know why this doesn't matter?

Every vaccine you've ever taken has this risk. All of them.

We just don't talk about it for the same reason that we don't talk about a seatbelt's risk of causing a broken rib, which can puncture your lung, and kill you. Happens twice a year in this country.

Why?

Because twice a year is nothing, and we don't want to spend the rest of our lives talking to people who really want to deeply study that twice a year number, as if there's something valuable there.

The real issue is you have no statistical intuition, so you don't recognize that you're wasting everyone's time chasing ghosts.

The downside, of course, is that STUPID PEOPLE CAN SEE YOU.

And they think you're challenging whether the vaccine is a good idea.

And no, it really doesn't matter if you say you aren't doing that. Stupid people see scary numbers and they remember what Fox News said, and they end up not taking the vaccine, because with five billion people worldwide having a dose in their arm, their dumb ass is so scared by people like you that they're still going to wait and see.

And you, desperate to feel intelligent, will not stop trying to ply these bullshit nonsense numbers, to show everyone else how much you get it.

Please stop doing this soon.

You're killing stupid people.
