Sometimes we were listening that statistics often suffer from bad opinions, being viewed with suspicion as a misleading means of making a point, especially in the political arena, a domain in which the term "statistics" arose.(Norton & Co.1976; paperback 1978). although it is not certain if the Victorian statesman said the phrase, it has since been uttered many times to express contempt for questionable arguments "reinforced" with data.

Consequently, Whichever testing method statisticians adopt to enhance the credibility of their findings, their results penetrate our lives.

The news I chose was YouTube has said it would remove content that spreads misinformation about all approved vaccines, expanding a ban on false claims about Covid-19 jabs.

This news seemed interesting because, during the pandemic, many people were scared by the information that the internet provided.

When the news talked about statistics of the people who died of its consequences, I even remember a news story that the toilet paper had run out because of people who were not going to go out again.

People are confused with the subject of vaccines. Because of the information the internet gives about them, YouTube is eliminating all the data. Also, false statistics have been created. Recently, confusion has been made regarding people who have been vaccinated, do not have the vaccine, type of vaccine, and are infected with Covid 19.

In the article, they explain through a graph that this is a statistic of the doses of vaccines they have and not of the vaccinated people. If this clarification is not made, people are still confused with the figures.

People are expanding that medical misinformation policy on the internet that " the vaccines are approved and effective by local health authorities and the WHO," a post said, referring to the World Health Organization.
