COVID After Effects

Yeah, it was a Facebook survey where they asked for your education level, ethnicity, etc.

lol.  I always lie on those things.  I frequently lie to pollsters about almost anything, and it is rational to do so.  If I tell the pollster that I voted for the guy I really don't like, it skews that candidate's data.  Remember, I don't like that guy.  Skewing his data makes me happy.

     Hmmm,   My aunt was just hospitalized three days ago.   Tested + when admitted for a broken hip.    So now classified as "hospitalized with Covid"...     
      From a nurse/ doctors perspective,  she's a "Covid Patient" .   They still have to mask / gown  up for " highly infectious disease"

    Makes for a lot of statistic variables...

And then there is this: "People with a PhD are the most hesitant when it comes to getting the Covid-19 vaccine, according to a paper by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh."

I remember doing this survey when it popped up on my Facebook feed a long time ago. Yeah, it was a Facebook survey where they asked for your education level, ethnicity, etc. I have a feeling that not all of those 10k who claimed they had a PhD did, in fact, have a PhD.

FWIW, I'm always tempted to make stuff up on Facebook surveys, but I was mostly honest with that one...I think. I'm interested to see how the peer review goes, it looks like the researchers noticed a "concerted effort" that “did make the hesitancy prevalence in the Ph.D. group look higher than it really is.”

How dare you imply that a pre-print survey that hasn't been peer reviewed and was sourced from Daily Mail isn't completely valid

That's the way I feel about the US census every 10-years. I feel sorry for any relative down the line looking for me on ancestry.com. I've been channeling Rachel Dolezal since before she was born.

Just placing this here... Now for all you skeptics, this is peer reviewed science.

That's my doctor too.  Does he also sell Magnums at his office?
