  • I’ve been thinking about that a lot recently, esp in regards to covid. If you look hard enough, you should be able to find a study that says basically whatever you want, and if you cant find a study that says what you want, you should be able to find a study that you can creatively misinterpret into “saying” what you want it to.

    And if you cant do that, you should be able to find some news article written by a clueless (or willfully dishonest) journalist/opinion columnist that says there’s a study that says what you want it to say.

    If you’re some average person, how the hell are you supposed to make sense of it all? I’m not surprised at all that theres people that just shrug it all off completely and say that covid is hoax, or that climate change is fake or whatever.

    I just spent like 10 mins on google and quickly found an article saying that being overweight is actually better than being “normal” weight, and another saying the opposite.

    How am I, not being an expert on medicine, supposed to make sense of it?
