What...no Stanford studies for protests, lootings, and riots ?   

People know the risks, especially if they choose to no wear a mask.  I wouldn’t make that decision, but I respect someone’s right to choose for themselves.  Just like I respect someone’s choice to smoke a cigarette.  700 deaths?  1400 people die everyday of cancer in the United States.  But there’s no daily counter by the mainstream media.  Hell, over 200 people die in Canada every day from cancer.  But nobody cares.  In fact, they’ll shut down cancer screenings and cause even more cancer deaths per day.  Meanwhile Canada and Ontario are setting record cases per day, and have been for weeks,  and deaths have barely ticked up.  Because treatment is much better now.  The chances of dying now compared to March or April are exponentially lower.  But covid is a religion to some people.

Stanford eh?

In the race to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, the world’s scientists have embraced a radically new method of disseminating information about their research, offering it quickly and without filters in the effort to understand and control this deadly disease.

But their new communication model is striking at the heart of scientific integrity, publicizing research that has been corrupted by speed, sloppiness and opacity. And now the academic world is being roiled by a question for which millions of lives hang in the balance: Is the public being well-served by the fast and free flow of research — or dangerously misled?

Nowhere is the question over scientific conduct louder than at Stanford University, where a trio of researchers are accused of promoting faulty analysis and “tipping the scale” on antibody studies that they say proves the virus is more widespread and less lethal than we feared, and that public health restrictions are too strict.

A team of researchers from Stanford recently posted a preprint of a manuscript on COVID-19 cases that was wrong. Based on their results, they suggested that many more people had already had the virus than we realized. The upshot was supposed to be that maybe it didn’t cause symptoms as often as we thought, or that maybe we’d get to “herd immunity” more quickly and less painfully than we thought.

So now I confused. If I'm always to believe the mighty studies of Stanford am I to be more scared or less scared of the China flu?
