Just a reminder that data isn& #39;t the plural form of anecdote. Not having a control group requires assuming that the mortality rate without treatment is 100%. Psychological biases make us overemphasize supportive evidence. A "study" that didn& #39;t go through peer review isn& #39;t a study.
Didn& #39;t think the BBC would demonstrate such statistical illiteracy. When stats are made up, you can& #39;t draw any conclusions from them. You can& #39;t assume that any pattern in made-up stats must reflect a similar pattern in real data. Fake is fake. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-52195034">https://www.bbc.com/news/worl...
