They were making fun of a guy on the radio the other day who made the claim that face masks did little good, then ended up contracting Covid 19, and died from it. They were absolutely hounding the guy for that, but I was thinking, "how many others have said that, and not gotten it though?"
I have cancer, and so many people have said modern medicine sucks, and suggested alternative medicine, claiming their great aunt was miraculously saved by some crushed up leaf oil or some such nonsense. But my question is, "how many have died that you never heard about?"
It is the Law of Big Numbers; before saying something is safe or not, give me statistics to back it up.
