Some things never change. So typical of HN. A comment lacking in critical thinking is added. The punters jump on to further the false narrative. And...the correction to that misguided affair is down voted. Y'all are funny. Ignorant, but funny.

Sorry, I avoid saying that on HN, but if you read the article and not just skimmed through it, you could have clicked on the link to the study here:

And discover why your comment was downvoted. I apologize I did not leave a comment to explain why I was down voting, I just did not want to say 'look, this person can't read', it's tacky (sorry for still doing it btw)

The *pulled quote* says "A hospital" (read: cherry picked) and then uses that outlier to sway the assuming and the naive.

If I wanted to speak to the whole study I would have. However, the paragraph pulled specifically says "*a* hospital*.

Now who did the skimming?? FFS
