News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

This shit again?
Take a Stats 101 course before complaining about sample sizes.
when you're talking to antivaxxers, you can't expect knowledge, logic, reason, facts, evidence, expert opinion, medical science consensus, or anything else that supports the safety of vaccines to be a factor in anything they say
I like how you (and me, if we're being honest) think he's an antivaxxer, and then he turned around and accused me of being an antivaxxer.
oops. looks like antivaxxers aren't the only morons around
Stats 102 will tell you that any sampling collected in March is biased and unusable. May is the only time to poll if you want the real numbers.
also, yes this shit again - we all know you antivaxxers hate rigorous applications of mathematics and basic logic
It's adorable how wrong you are in your righteous indignation.
It's like you don't understand the concept of context. Can you process more than one word at a time?
statistical significance against sample size is only relevant in unbiased sampling and there is no mention of their methods. this is a literal joke of a conclusion
None of which was mentioned in your initial complaint.
From the article
You want to criticize their methodology, go for it. But just whining about sample size makes you look like a an idiot.
man i love to be right
I'm sure you do.
On the rare occasions when you get to enjoy it.
This, however, isn't one of them.
