Oh sure. Do you have any experience with statistics? Are you also one that if a (R) is behind their name they must have impeccable credentials?

I've read some freeper's "statistical analysis" of it back when there were 11 microbiologist deaths within 5 months.

They used the number of microbiologists in the general US population and the death rate among all citizens and 'deduced' that the 11 deaths in 5 months was too high to be coincidental.

They also failed to admit (or read) that some of the deaths happened in russia, england, australia, etc. Thus rendering their thorough statistical analysis based on THE US POPULATION OF MICROBIOLOGISTS completely and totally worthless.

Of course, they seemed to gloss over that fact. It would reduce the shock value of their 'statistics'.

It was bad enough when it was microbiologists. Now it's almost any type of scientist or even people in school studying science. Soon it will be that if you own a lab coat and end up dead, Art bell, george noory, alex jones, and every other crackpot with an audience to entertain will gleefully use your death to advance their careers and captivate their audience.

It's pathetic and sickening.
