Readers may note that my latest Substack contains the biggest screw-up that I’ve made up until now, and this short piece is my apology. I ask for mercy for the following “CYA” reasons, in order to try to save face in this largest-of-all blunder:
trying to be cutting edge means taking risks in the making of claims
the COVID era is fraught with contradictory values that make things hard
claimed duress due either to a persecution complex or real persecution (real bad guys)
The error I made was to divide a “rate-per-100,000” by 10 to convert it into a “rate-per-million.” But you actually multiply to do something like that (my brain must have been in a fog).
I’ll submit a corrected version soon.
Apologies.
