More Proof: democrats = sheep


May 9, 2021, 8:13 PM

Republicans = thinkers.

...basic familiarity with statistical risk was the main driver behind so many people answering the question about hospitalization rates wrong.

... Even among those with high numeracy skills, Republicans were twice as likely to get the right answer and Democrats were nearly twice as likely to vastly overestimate.

The elites "following the science" actually are not following the science. Consistent and par for the course for dems.

Republicans underestimate COVID risks while Democrats exaggerate them
More than one-third of GOP voters believed the virus couldn't be spread by asymptomatic individuals - which is wrong - while 41% of Dems believed that more than 50% of those who catch COVID needed hospitalization.

Gallup survey: Republicans underestimate COVID risks while Democrats overestimate them
"conservatives aren’t the only ones misinterpreting scientific evidence in systematic ways."

Well, I'm neither anymore.

Of course I'm not polled, probably because I'd tell them I'm neither.

I do take issue with this quote in the article:

"In reality, about 1 per cent of COVID patients need to be hospitalized". Other than not knowing what the heck that means....patients?

32 million people have tested positive for covid in the US. 580,000 have died.



I guess maybe 210 million people have been "covid patients" then, since last August.

Herman Cain was a great thinker.

Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.
- Jonathan Swift

Nice try, but no number of studies will help

you make the case that you're NOT the most "challenged" person on this board, regardless of your political affiliation.

Oh, he's challenged all right...

Just not in the arenas he thinks.

You guys just don't understand it or what? That's probably it.

When confused, start typing randomly.
