What is the value of aggregate anecdotal data (where n=2000) collected in a biased manner, from a single website?
And that’s not meant to be a dig. I genuinely want to know what you think the value is here, as someone who seems to also have some domain expertise with stats.
Everyone here is giving him a pat on the back but all I see is a bunch of people happy to confirm their existing biases.
I mean… I’m pretty sure we all already know this stuff is true. I personally didn’t take the vax and never would.
But does this help us prove that, in any way?
Shill farms pushed those topics.
I have a hard time thinking they’re tasked with pushing out truthful information.
That shit infested legitimate discussions around Covid vax and provided a justification for a wave of censorship in regards to conversations about side effects.
So I’m more than skeptical.
I totally agree with you on this.
OP has collected anecdotes that represent meaningful vaccine injury claims, and in aggregate, is useful qualitative data. It might not be statistically representative but that doesn’t mean it’s useless.
Shill farms have pushed themes related to 5G, Microchips, graphene. Etc. as a way of poisoning the well when it comes to legitimate criticism.
Note added for Traxx. Thanks for pointing that out.
Don’t be an emotional dumbass, and try to use your brain for a second.
How are you going to draw larger conclusions from data that is entirely anecdotal, and not randomly sampled?
N=2000 might be statistically significant if you randomly sampled and had representative data.
That’s not the case here. Based on what OP has said about their methodology, we know it’s not representative and that there are several different types of biases at play here.
Sorry that I know more about statistics than you?
I’m not putting anyone down here. But I’m also not going to sugarcoat it and hand out trophies for effort. That’s rather insulting and infantilizing imo. OP is a big boy and can handle my feedback.
Here’s a decent article that breaks down the kind of value that aggregate anecdotal data has:

“ Yet somehow people think trump was controlled opposition or just part of the system. Yet this system is trying to systemically destroy him at every available opportunity.”
I agree. And I’ve observed several shill accounts pushing the angle that trump is just playing along and it’s all theatre.
Imo There’s no way they would expose themselves this much just for “kabuki theatre”, as some confirmed shills here have suggested.
It’s not surprising that you have shills coming here… sliding, hate larping, and trying to drive a wedge in trumps base and anons generally.
Makes perfect sense actually.
Unfortunately I feel like you collected a bunch of anecdotes that aren’t statistically representative and have almost no statistical value.
It’s not that this is useless… like it certainly is interesting to have collected all these anecdotes.
But analytically speaking I don’t feel this has much value.
What do you plan on doing with it?
Edit: this isn’t a controversial or even debatable point. This isn’t putting someone down. I’m actually the only one here giving this person any meaningful feedback.
Kinda sad how few of you have an even basic understanding of random sampling techniques…
OP, you should read this article:

Comes off as fake as fuck.
This whole comments section feels astroturfed and has several known shill accounts that have been caught astroturfing with bots in the past.
For example, vlad is 100% confirmed shill, beyond any doubt.
No one knows you.
You’re a fucking shill who sometimes uses AI to schizo larp in between your hate larps and occasional filler content.
I’ve seen your bots malfunction multiple times. Literally 100% confidence in your shill status.
Now fuck off, idiot.
You probably don’t even know what anecdotal data is…
I bet you don’t know the first thing about stats.
And I never said anecdotes don’t have value. I said they didn’t have statistical value, which is not really debatable.
The fact that you try to debate that is an indication that you’re kind of stupid, shrug
