Being blind since birth likely reduces the probability of being diagnosed with schizophrenia if you have it - because you will know that everything you "see" is hallucinations so you won't act on them.

That changes the math significantly.

That would be true if visual hallucinations were the primary symptom of schizophrenia but that is not the case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia#Positive_symptom...
