The actual study; http://ftp.iza.org/dp13670.pdf

I saw anerror in the first minute of reading. 460k VEHICLES were there, not 460K people.

Also it’s a model, not counting actual numbers.

I don’t believe it for a second.

"Contact tracers were explicitly forbidden from asking if people had gone to George Floyd marches and memorials, riots/BLM"

Tells us everything we need to know about this.

Story is likely:

Cases that do not result in death are okay

Well, unless they get blood clots or permanent lung damage. BLM protests have blood on their hands, even without the rioting.

As a programmer myself, yes if I want a fake result I put it inside the code so no matter what comes in (even if valid data) I still get exactly the output that I want:-)

Very interesting, my FRiend.

With apologies for an unrelated aside, have you been able to examine any of the climate models? If so, we'd love to hear your observations and opinions.

It’s a Wishin’and Hopin’ study, to blame it on Conservatives.

About 400,000 at the event. They each associate withj 10 to 20 people... do the math.

It would be most extraordinary if they couldn’t find that many cases- using mere contact as a standard.
Which no one reputable would do.

Yes, a bad pseudo-scientific “study” that makes assumptions that provide the expected answers. They even attribute cases that started before the rally happened.

In fact, we actually do contact tracing in the real world. We know that 60 or so people tested positive after attending, and they had contacts that led to a total of around 260 cases.

According to THIS “study” we missed thousands of cases at Sturgis, and then 10s of thousands of cases caused by them.

It is BS of course.

They used the “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon” algorithm.

I am never turning on my phone when crossing a state boundary ever again.

To be really effective at disabling tracking, use a Faraday bag.

“...according to researchers from San Diego State University’s Center for Health Economics & Policy Studies.”

I doubt it. I bet they did whatever they could to make sure the numbers supported the conclusion they had already reached.

Dr, Steve McIntyre & Dr. Ross McKittrick and the Hockey Stick? Put any data set through the Mann, Bradley & Hughes paleo-climate model and it delivered a temperature spike.
