if I throw a dart at a continuous 2D grid and its landing position is uniformly distributed over the unit circle centered at (0, 0), the probability of it landing at any given point within the unit circle is 0, but is still higher than the probability of it landing outside the unit circle, which is also 0. Does this mean 0 > 0 in certain contexts?

What does /sci/ think of psychiatry?

A legitimate help for people in need, or a tool for the state to control and contain vulnerable people?

The real reason the vaccine does not work

Hey 4chan. I was told that this place is filled with COVID misinfo and right-wing idiots so I thought that if I come here and share my real insider info I'll just get dismissed as another right-wing idiot so this is the perfect wall to shout to get all of the these negative thoughts out of my head. So here it goes:

First one of all, I'm a Finance Manager at Pfizer. I don't work directly in the vaccine division but I have a lot of first-hand information because I get invited to a lot of meetings. This is what I know:

1) Why the COVID vaccine does not work
As a finance manager at Pfizer my main job is doing financial modelling. Financial modelling can be any description of a probable financial scenario using real data and typical accounting/finance conventions. Back in the day our vaccine models were like this:

N = # of people likely to get the vaccine
P = $ price of manufacturing a unit of the vaccine
P' = $ price the vaccine will be sold at
O(n) = Operational costs associated with manufacturing and distributing n doses of the vaccine
R = $ cost of the research and development needed for the vaccine.

Ignoring taxes, the total profit we could make from creating a vaccine was:
N*P' - N*P - O(N) - R

As you can imagine, we could always keep track of the costs of R. The cost P is pretty much almost 0 (these things cost nothing to produce) and for P' we have historical prices to input into our model. The problem is N.

See, the problem is that because a vaccine back in the day was supposed to 100% prevent a disease then the vaccination event was unique. You only needed to vaccinate once. Therefore our estimation of N was really fucking important. In my lifetime I have seen people get fired for overestimating/underestimating N. It is that important.

In short terms, a pharma company's decision to work on a vaccine for a new disease depended entirely on what their financial analysts estimated N to be. (cont.)

what's in this thing?

so i buy this soap because i shoot pretty often and i have two young kids. i read some studies that it does significantly better at removing lead compared to just regular soap.
however, it's fucking expensive.
how do i find out what the chemical in it is responsible for removing lead from skin?
i figure if it's some relatively common chemical, i could just order it online, and add it to whatever soap i wanted to.
