Then you're pretty much on the same page with everyone else. If the criteria is solely "profit at all costs", then almost everyone rated him top tier. If the criteria involves ethical concerns and moral obligations to society at large, many rated him poorly.
Personally, I think ethical...
Pretty much what others have said. If we're defining this as "making money at all costs", then top tier. If we're including ethical and societal concerns, then pretty awful.
Must be, right? I looked it up online and the sticker price for the cheapest Malibu boat is $125K.
Hard for me to gauge what's actually in the water, as my long-distance vision is mediocre at best and I usually can't tell the difference between a $10K 20-year old used boat and a $100K+ newer...
The marina near me recently got a dealer contract for Malibu boats. They have a couple parked out front as display models. The fanciest one, admittedly a very nice 21' ski/wakesurf boat, has a sticker price of $215K.
Wakesurfing is very popular where I am these days. It does look pretty fun...
Idly browsing used boats today on Facebook Marketplace. Not seriously in the market right now, as we intend to squeeze every bit of life out of the current boat and she's not done yet.
Anyway, I see a lot of Sea Rays, Mastercrafts, Rinkers, etc., but I actually came across a Bryant boat today...
I don't know about that. A more likely explanation is the original intent was altruistic and well-intended, just poorly implemented. To paraphrase Hanlon's Razor, poor implementation <> malicious intent. One might also suggest that the idea was never properly funded to allow for rigorous...
Agreed. It is absolutely a broken system. And that's exactly why studies based on the data contained within that broken system are unreliable, which was my point from the beginning.
You stated that prior to COVID, VAERS was underutilized. If that statement is true, then one can't reliably compare VAERS data pre-COVID to COVID-era VAERS data. This is just basic math and shouldn't be controversial.
The study you posted cannot be presented as accurate or useful info, per...
"something else that appeared settled for so long all of a sudden became controversial" is not a good barometer for "things we should take seriously or question". If it were, flat earth should be up for serious debate.
This. As currently constructed, VAERS data is the equivalent of an anonymous survey on the New England Patriots website asking whether Peyton Manning or Tom Brady was the better QB. It's the poster child for "garbage in, garbage out".
I don't know how many people did/are, but I do know...
* There were lots of social media posts of people claiming to have filed a false report
* There were lots of social media posts/videos encouraging people to file false reports
* There is no check on people filing false reports. That is...
Some basic math here, using your own theory that "Prior to COVID, VAERS was underutilized". Numbers are made up for ease of math.
* Pretend there were 1 million vaccines for "something" in the pre-COVID underutilized days. Pretend there were 20,000 adverse events, which is a 2% rate. Next...
