John, I understand the concept of the number of people group being 100. However, I would assume the 100 people number be based on general population aged 1-99. For a senior who with a few morbidities that number may be unrealistic in his age group. Considering senior age, perhaps the advice to take the jab was not faulty.
John: The more morbidities that a citizen had, the more risk there was. The reason is that there was no serious safety testing, PLUS no testing on people with morbidities. Again, all we are asking for is FULL DISCLOSURE, and that a person can make an INFORMED Decision. None of that happened.
Very enlightening. We Hoi Polloi do not understand statistics and can easily be misled, but there was other information floating about for people to make a more informed decision rather than be dependent on Fauci antics. This is why I was puzzled as to why more doctors weren't speaking out in droves about its inefficacy. Too many (who I assume understand the precision of statistical terminology) let him use those terms and numbers without question. That's why he had the gall to call himself "the science". Few heroes. Many "professional" sheep.
My father taught me that "liars figure and figures lie." One must understand the bias of the speaker. In this case, Fauci evidently loved his own power. As such he demonstrated no humility before the God of creation.
Many years ago a wise technologist wrote the following:
Data is not Fact,
Fact is not Information,
Information is not Knowledge,
Knowledge is not Truth,
Truth is not Wisdom.
I believe he was saying that without Wisdom a person would never have the Knowledge to understand the Data, Fact, and Information to arrive at the Truth. The Truth was crushed under Fauci's arrogant and narrow self service.
Please remember that learning historically comes from Athens (knowledge of the Mind) and Jerusalem (knowledge of the heart). One without the other is like watching a man try to run on one leg. Integrate the two and information is shaped by values that eventually shape character and virtue emerges. Such is not present in Fauci. He is a cess pool of himself.
Our Creator guides those who seek the truth...and provides the answers being sought. All my life I have trusted in our Creator..and have seen miraculous happenings. I learned years ago, not to trust in mankind for answers. I have overcome every health issue, I faced, without medical help. In the 1970s, I was talking to a young boy who was a friend of my children...and he told me that he was an atheist. He asked me why I believed. After i told him my reason. He said, "I would be a believer, too, if these things had happened to me. Why did they happen to you and not to me?" I thought about it and then replied, "I don't block my good with any doubt."
This author states that public health officials, notably Dr. Fauci, misleadingly presented vaccine and treatment effectiveness using relative risk statistics instead of absolute risk figures.
Key Points:
~Effectiveness Metrics: Public communications emphasized relative risk reduction (>90% for many vaccines) while absolute risk reduction was omitted. The FDA has advised that relative-risk framing can mislead public perception.
~Number Needed to Treat: Based on the article's calculations, roughly 100+ vaccinations were required to prevent a single COVID-19 case.
~Treatment Cost Analysis: The article contrasts Ivermectin ($26 per life saved) against Paxlovid ($881,260 per life saved), excluding side-effect considerations from the calculation.
~Reporting Standards: Cites FDA guidance and CONSORT 2010 guidelines, both recommending disclosure of both absolute and relative effect measures for transparency.
I remember Dr. Fauci very obviously avoiding absolute risk and this misleads so many Americans. He should be ashamed, but I think hubris and shamelessness ruled his day and hurt so many innocent people, including many friends and family. Not only did the experimental gene therapy thrust on so many trusting people in the country (and around the globe) harm so many people, but much harm was done by inhibiting our children’s learning, shutting down businesses, and crushing so many rights, like those of free association and choice. I’m sure it is true that Dr. Fauci is just the face of a much larger problem in many of our essential systems. It is going to take courage and conviction to right the wrongs.

Linda: Indeed a lot of competent people did NOT speak up. The urge to "go along, don't rock the boat" is stronger than we think.

Marty: TY. Well said.
Once again I'm in your debt.
Thank you for sharing, this is well done Sir!
Keeping facts in the light for all to see is a very honorable thing!
🧐🤔
Bryan: TY for the support. PLease pass this three part series onto your associates.
John…this is an absolutely terrific piece. Keep charging and thinking.
TY. Pass it on.
