I too could draw cartoons of the Loch Thames monster, emerging and slurping up lines of baffled tourists, like a drug addict sniffing lines of cocaine.

And intone that whether this will happen is a "fundamental and large hole in scientific knowledge".

But I can't be bothered.
Here's the original story. Disclaimer. I also couldn't be bothered to read the article itself.

In the words of @mshunshin (describing transmitral doppler optimization of CRT)

"When you have to descend to drawing cartoons, you know you are desperate."

Actually my girlfriend has forced me to read the article, because she thinks "it's a bit rude" to not do so.

OK. Image

The pandemic has made it really clear to me that trend to have patients make their own health care decisions with advice from us, is well intentioned but harmful.

A great many people *don't realise* they have no idea how to decide wisely.
This unfortunate citizen thinks that this graph is what they should use to decide whether to have a vaccine.

the doctor has a choice of explaining about RCTs versus irrelevant 3d colour graphs, telescoping into a few minutes what it took years to grasp, or just sigh and move on.
When I get on a plane, I have paid for a pilot to have spent a very long time studying how best to fly a plane.

Even if I prefer him to fly lower so I "get less x-rays", or over the land "so I don't have a risk of drowning", I don't barge in and tweak the steering wheel myself.

Which is more?
Which is a bigger discount?
Why are both of those questions obviously stupid and pointless?

Businesses are financially incentivising vaccination by reducing sick pay for people insisting on not participating in community vaccination.
Some people advocate personal freedom with no responsibility to the community which makes it possible to live our lives so freely.

I personally think I drive best when drunk as a skunk.

Why should anyone tell me what I do with my body?
Ah wait. Obviously if I am legally proven to run over that kid with a pint of vodka in my blood, I should perhaps get a slap on the wrist.

But what if I have not collided with anyone?

Is that OK?

Lots of people seem to be tweeting at me super-confidently that "Vaccines don't work".

Funnily enough, none of the people who go through any of my courses in clinical research stats are so overconfident in their interpretation. Image
Mop up any seminars on probability and risk that you haven't already done,

and if you've done them all, repeat the low-scoring ones aiming for the "gold" 100% status!
