PBA -“Exactly what scientific standards does a study have, when it
studies 8 cases?
And bases its conclusion on the average amount of time between exposure and infection, when the times range up to 3 times the amount of time as the lower end?
And uses no counterfactuals?
And makes assumptions based on an exposure which every baby in that community is exposed to, without using the average from the community?
Hilarious.”
Sorry about not responding earlier, but I’ve been busy with Yom Tov. It says 8 cases were believed to have been caused by MBP, not that they only studied 8 cases. I didn’t study the article itself, only the abstract.
You have the right to present a counter article and submit it to the AAP. I personally am not an expert in Statistics. But the rule is that if the AAP accepted it for publication, they basically agree with it. That doesn’t mean that there can’t be an opposing view, but your few questions only makes it a non-serious article in your mind only.
How about using some intellectual honesty? I know you have the intellect.
So acc. to medical science right now – MPH is a Sakanah. And to say differently right now is against the Torah -acc. to those that hold Chazal differed to medical science when applicable.
