How about you tell that to the OP whose counter to my argument was that I was a shill?

A fraction of a fraction of a percent of people signing a letter doesn't mean shit. It's an appeal to masses through the misleading idea that 600 is a meaningful number. It's a fallacy built on a fallacy. That's my substantial statement.

How many doctors need to sign and risk their careers by going against the mainstream narrative for it to seem credible to you?

More than 0.06%.

Arbitrary.

Not really. 0.06% is statistically insignificant. Realistically, I'd want a majority of physicians coming out against something but I'd take even 1% before I'd give it a second thought.

0.06% of people is 1 in 1667. Maybe you think that 1 person matters more than the other 1666 but I don't.
