I call bullshit unless there is a direct link to the data. read the article, it says EVIE pulled some data from Pew American Trends Panel: Wave 64, was dated March 2020. I pulled that up here: https://www.pewresearch.org/politic...3/PP_2020.03.26_Coronavirus-Impact_FINAL1.pdf The whole study and questions submitted are about concerns of COVID and opinion on government reaction to the crisis. I am still looking into it but I don't see any data on white liberals claiming to have more mental disorders by a doctor. This is bullshit reporting to link to a study that says nothing about mental disorders unless they got access to some buried data and don't feel like sharing.
I question the article on the grounds that white liberals in urban/suburban areas are more likely to seek mental health help than white conservatives in rural areas. I will note that the article does provide this as a possible explanation. Of course, the headline is eye-catching and certainly will generate debate on a thread in ET Politics.
I always say that inferences from statistics are always based on bullshit but this one seems a real stretch. The Pew study referenced which I included shows no questions about mental disorders, just opinion on people's perception of the effects of COVID on the economy and their family and poll on response from government, hospitals, community etc... Unless there is some hidden data we are not being told, it is almost illegal to make a claim that X group has more mental disorders and hide the facts it is based on . Pure headline fodder to clicks and twitter debates. I cannot believe we got to the point that people read something and "Yup must be true because a % is cited..." (Not referring to you GWB).
This is the Data Set that Zach Goldberg claims to use in his Twitter thread. https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/dataset/covid-19-late-march-2020/ This is the Twitter thread. Go to it to see it all. This is the Pew article associated with the data set. https://www.pewresearch.org/social-...oronavirus-outbreak-has-impacted-their-lives/
You can see my post directly above yours for the source of the complete dataset and the Pew summary of the information. There is a clear data set being used for the article. This is the difference between us and you, jem. We are seeking the actual data behind the assertions when things are in doubt about the quality of the information.
that is fucking comedy... Just yesterday you told us a majority of the people who caught Covid at the WH Rose Garden ceremony were not indoors. Yet you had no proof and I quickly proved you were lying per what was in the press. You have lied at least 20 times in the this month about providing proof of documented outdoor spread. You lied about proving florida spread the variant all over. All you do is make shit up.
OK but I dont see that mental disorder chart anywhere in the PEW article... Something is fishy or I am really missing something...the twitter thread is referencing a PEW article with no mention of mental disorder and party...
Yes but then I pulled up the questions asked in the poll and none of them were about mental disorders.... DO you think a poll on COVID and effects in March 2020 is going to ask people whether they have been diagnosed with a mental disorder even on an anonymous poll? And it wll broken up by political affiliation? AGain the conclusions smell real fishy. Click on the link of the report from Pew and scroll to the last pages which show questions asked in the survey... not that specific.
