this is why I think we should put criteria for meta-analysis studies that are good

2019-05-26 10:42:11 UTC  

here are the following criteria that make sense, and has good reasons too:
-presence of a placebo controlled group.
```Sugar placebo for pills, saline for injections, otherwise false placebo```
-sample size at has at least 120 participants per group, this means at least 240 participants
```A small sample size means p-hacking and is a hasty generalization```
-latency lasts at least 5 to 10 years long, depending on the questions and requests for better knowledge
```a latency lasting a few months or a few weeks on humans is not an observation of long term effects, therefore anyone claiming studies prove it's safe only base it on studies that have a short latency```
-absence of conflicts of interest
```Any study that likely favors institutions, corporations, governments and other special interest groups likely has manipulated results. Sometimes done with removing some results over fear of losing reputation of product. Studies with no conflicts of interest, where scientists have no stocks in any industry relevant to what they are studying, are independent studies.```
-in case genes are involved, it's important to mention gene-environment (GXE) interactions
```Genes and environment are known to interact. For instance, a person with a mutation that limits his ability to detoxify from heavy metals can make that manifest as a neurodevelopmental disorder.```

The use of such criteria is power intensive, but makes a lot of sense. Since this leads to better accuracy of meta-analysis. These criteria function as a filter.

Found Morocco, a 3rd world country in africa at todays date yet it was free of polio since 1988 even from the outbreak in 2011. Which means that polio cant be caused by feces alone and also we have already linked feces contaminated drinking water to polio the only difference is the feces has to be polio infected which tends to happen when your water supply is feces infected and a someone with the virus goes to the bathroom

I cant belive this has escalated this far

2019-05-27 23:27:39 UTC  

To the point we are now arguing over vaccines...

2019-05-27 23:28:03 UTC  

It gets people sick my dude

2019-05-27 23:29:20 UTC  

A dead virus?

2019-05-27 23:29:36 UTC  

That's like saying they cause autism

2019-05-27 23:29:59 UTC  

In which you cannot "contract" autism, you are either born with it or you arent

2019-05-27 23:30:49 UTC  

Ik

2019-05-27 23:30:56 UTC  

But it does cause illness

2019-05-27 23:31:05 UTC  

If you aren't compatible

2019-05-27 23:31:14 UTC  

Which should have test for it

2019-05-27 23:31:20 UTC  

But most vaccines don't

2019-05-27 23:31:26 UTC  

All vaccines are tested for human use

2019-05-27 23:31:45 UTC  

Often tested on pigs or monkeys, and on select volunteer humans

2019-05-27 23:32:15 UTC  

Some people can react badly to a vaccine, it happens

2019-05-27 23:32:17 UTC  

So your telling me

2019-05-27 23:32:21 UTC  

We are all the same?

2019-05-27 23:32:28 UTC  

We're all mammals

2019-05-27 23:32:31 UTC  

Yes

2019-05-27 23:32:36 UTC  

But not all the same

2019-05-27 23:32:38 UTC  

We all have similar ancestors

2019-05-27 23:32:55 UTC  

We may have 99.99% of the same genetics

2019-05-27 23:32:59 UTC  

But look around you

2019-05-27 23:33:09 UTC  

That. 001% can kill you

2019-05-27 23:33:22 UTC  

Some people are allergic to certain things

2019-05-27 23:33:26 UTC  

And some aren't

2019-05-27 23:33:32 UTC  

I never said people arent allergic

2019-05-27 23:33:41 UTC  

We should be able to know if we are compatible with a vaccine or not

2019-05-27 23:33:47 UTC  

Like. I'm allergic to amoxicillin, so i just take alternatives

2019-05-27 23:34:02 UTC  

Bet you were tested for it

2019-05-27 23:34:08 UTC  

Nope

2019-05-27 23:34:12 UTC  

Allergic reaction

2019-05-27 23:34:17 UTC  

That's great

2019-05-27 23:34:23 UTC  

Imagine if you died due to it

2019-05-27 23:34:33 UTC  

Would be ashame
