"No one in this world, so far as I know - and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me - has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people..."
Indeed. Some, like McCullough, like Trump himself, have learned how to make money by "underestimating."
My Trump loving ***** loved his doctor because his doctor was "so successful at treating COVID with Ivermectin and antibiotics" and that I should see him if I get sick.
I asked him "how many people has he treated?"
"I bet it's a 100!" he said.
I said "Did anyone have any problems - not fully recover?"
"Yes, one or two" he thought.
"Were they all old, or middle aged, or young?" I asked.
"Mostly middle age. A lot of kids. I don't see a lot of older people there."
"I see. If they hadn't been treated, do you know the probability of the same results?"
"I don't know, but these were amazing results!" he said.
"You do realize that, based on what you've said, the results aren't statistically different then if they hadn't been treated, that there was no attempt to determine actual benefit, and the doctor is giving you what you want regardless of whether it will help or not?"
That was the end of that conversation.
I got nothing,
That caught me flatfooted!
