La vaccination est gratuite, donc cette association n'est sans doute pas causale, car je vois mal quel pourrait être le mécanisme. Je suis à peu près sûr qu'elle disparait quand on contrôle pour la proportion de diplômés du supérieur, l'âge et la proportion d'immigrés.
Toutes les données dont on a besoin pour faire ça sont disponibles sur le site de l'INSEE, donc j'essaierai peut-être si j'ai le temps, mais pour l'instant j'ai d'autres chats à fouetter... Je trouve juste ça incroyable que les gens ne se posent pas la question du mécanisme.
Dans les pays où on a des données individuelles avec ces informations, comme les États-Unis, on voit en effet que l'effet est principalement dû à l'éducation même s'il subsiste des différences entre groupes ethniques même à niveau d'éducation égal. healthpolicy.usc.edu/evidence-base/…
The hysteria about "long COVID" has been nothing short of amazing when you think about it. The concept isn't even well-defined, people lump together things that are clearly very different under that umbrella term and the evidence about it mostly consists in studies based on
non-random samples, plagued with measurement error and without any control group showing vague symptoms like "fatigue" at a prevalence similar to that observed in the general population. Anyone who didn't notice that before should never be trusted with any kind of data analysis.
The same thing sometimes happens to me. People don't think I really believe some of the things I claim to believe. I think it's because when you think something is obvious, you tend not to read arguments to the contrary, so you don't realize it's not as obvious as you think.
I think very few things are genuinely obvious, and those which are tend to be uninteresting, otherwise they wouldn't really be obvious. Something that initially attracted me toward philosophy is that it forced you to think carefully about why someone might disagree with you.
It was also a source of disappointment once I was in the field, because I realized that, on some issues (basically anything political broadly construed), so many professional philosophers lived in a bubble and were saying a lot of stupid shit because they never did that.
I repeat myself, but the most offensive thing about that kind of stuff isn't the racism (although it is racist and you shouldn't let anyone tell you otherwise), but just how mind-blowingly STUPID it is.
Her argument is that, among other things, white people lie all the time and the example she gives when asked by MLH is that we say that Columbus "discovered" America even though people already lived there and we massacred them. These people teach at university for Christ's sake.
Putain mais quelle bande de guignols ! Expliquez moi encore une fois pourquoi je ne devrais qualifier ces types autrement ?
L'équipe de Samuel Alizon et de Mircea Sofonea ce sont les génies qui nous expliquaient il y a peu que l'effet du confinement s'était accéléré... après la fin du confinement 🤪 Autant vous dire que leurs estimations sont très fiables...
