I have Wayne07 written down a few months back as a Bad actor on freerepublic.
What that means to me is that you ignore or manipulate data to make an argument. Meaning you did this to me in the past.
This is far worse then a troll.

Absolute risk reduction (ARR) – also called risk difference (RD) – is the most useful way of presenting research results to help your decision-making. In this example, the ARR is 8 per cent (20 per cent - 12 per cent = 8 per cent). This means that, if 100 children were treated, 8 would be prevented from developing bad outcomes.

Relative risk reduction (RRR) tells you by how much the treatment reduced the risk of bad outcomes relative to the control group who did not have the treatment.
more on the differences:

From the report from the lancet
" With the use of only RRRs, and omitting ARRs, reporting bias is introduced, which affects the interpretation of vaccine efficacy"

I have Steve Van Doorn written down as a an unwitting tool of Russian and Chinese trolls. They pull his strings with fake information, which he naively regurgitates without really understanding that the information has been manipulated, or what it even means. Normally no one cares, but his current posts are likely to get people killed.

I'm glad you can copy and paste the definition of ARR. But can you read what you pasted, and understand what it means? Seems not. There is absolutely nothing wrong with ARR, but the low numbers just don't mean what you think it means. I.e., they show that the vaccine is highly effective!
