Statistics "lie" as presented. The statements are based on a bell curve & at a specific part of the curve. Incidents that occur pass the curve band in either direction are "ignored as non-existent" or lying.
Findings are more likely based on what the people doing the studies want to see & accumulate evidence to support their ideas to get more fund money. Coffee was bad; now Coffee is good for the heart. Chocolate was bad but dark chocolate is good for the heart. Alcohol is bad but white wine helps the heart.
What "studies" do we want to follow & what time frame? How do you convince ant-vaccine people to get vaccinated for the flu, measles, etc?
