Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

Same goes for chemical safety. How do we know what the effects of mercury, lead or sulfur dioxide are on humans? Tragic things have happened in the past, and the survivors just documented the results.
Radiation is another great example of this
That is true. The demon core comes to mind as an extreme example. Also, Hisashi Ouchi paid a horrendous price in 1999.
Yeah, but you can’t Gauge everything that way…
Or bleach… we should have great information on the maximum amount of ordinary household bleach that a human being can drink at this point.
To google scholar mobile chum!
With observational incident reports you can only get a list of symptoms and a very rough range of exposure. If you want something more detailed than that, you need a proper LD50 study.
That’s fair. Not being an actual sciencer, approximately how many anit-vaxers would I need to deliver? Like you can probably round to the nearest truckload or something like that.
I think I’m gonna go somewhere and find a new edge to lord over. Maybe even touch some grass… This is getting far too close to history :-(
A good rule of thumb in statistics is that a sample size of about 30 will give you some idea of the standard deviation. Anything less than that, and your analysis is on shaky ground. In logistics terms, all you need to get started is just one truck load of anti-vaxxers.
I think that truckload should be the new standard unit for ~30 anit-vaxxers.
I propose the we call it T sub L as a challenge to the poor folks still trying to write Fediverse mobile clients ;-)
How about we just call it "The Standard Unit" and choose U its symbol. You know, just to mess around with all the other "units" we have for everything. I'm looking at you, Enzyme unit, in particular. Also, the "Astronomical Unit" was a pretty obnoxious name too, so points for that.
That one kills me… I couldn’t even get U400 or however it goes. My doctors all blew off their chemistry prerequisites so they couldn’t fathom another human being keeping track of different concentrations.
Pens designed so a literal blind person can work it out by shape :-(
Ah well… it just adds to my country’s rich history of nonsensical metrics.
