I'm describing something that happened in the thread and you flip it around with something that didn't?

People do hope for bad things to happen, there are pessimists and optimists.

You've interpreted this data is bad and you feel others should feel bad about it. Maybe that's not a conclusion most feel they need to agree too?

Don't forget this study isn't completely proven other factors might be at play.

I did not interpret anything. We are. Discussing about an article and a comment that is factual wrong according to the article. Don't fight facts and don't confuse them with opinions.

Yes and the severity and the true cause of the symptoms is still not set in stone, so you're confused because correlation does not imply causation.

It's a study and more needs to be done.

I agree with you but still I am commenting on the factual sentences that exist in the article and not their correctness. I'm sure you understood already.

So why then do you say that the top comment is wrong to be the top comment ?

My friend is an epidemiologist working for a leading international health organisation and told me the same thing yesterday.
