No one is talking about the 11 dead scientists yet? Coincidence?
I'm not one for conspiracies, but just something I saw on mainstream
media today.
The MSM is hyping this. Why? Distraction? Actual concern?
Separately, the numbers are suggesting this is "Insensitivity to sample size is a cognitive bias where people estimate the probability of obtaining a sample statistic without considering the sample size" to quote references.
MSM suggests this is like 11 of say an implied very small number, say a hundred or so, and it all was recent.
There are many thousands in the class these people come from. Some sources suggest perhaps as many as 20,000 might have similar controlled access when retirees and military are added to the civilian numbers.
The actual time span is over a decade - that is 10+ years to get up to the 11.
A random population of 20,000 can statistically expect 1-2 suicides, 1-2 disappearances, using the US Crude Death Rate around 180 to 200 total deaths per annum.
MSM has slipped the total population numbers say two places, but even at the 200 population you will a couple each year.
Does this mean these is no issue?
No, rather it means the issue is something different than the headlines suggest.
But is also means that unless the MSM can tie the causes together, that the number are not the interesting part.
... We all live in a yellow subroutine...
