It is depressing that someone could take the time to talk about something like background probability and then botch the application of that to the debate on hand. Novel new medical treatment and the burden of proof is somehow on the people that think it may not have worked? Crazy town. By that line of thinking any and all treatments called a covid vaccine would get a free pass. Shit why bother having an FDA or CDC at all then? The last thing we called a vaccine worked so...you know...full speed ahead.
