You need a better argument than that to convince somebody to never gamble lol. Remember, it was also a gamble to trust the WHO not to use masks early in the pandemic. We are making gambles everyday.

That one was a very interesting story. The best informed people made rational decisions to mask up, semi informed believed the bad advice to do without, the least informed acted randomly.
