Yale Says Fracking Causes Sexually-Transmitted Diseases
« on: February 07, 2020, 02:25:51 pm »
Climate Change Dispatch by Josh Bloom on Feb 7, 2020

Researchers from the Yale School of Public Health published one of the dumbest papers we’ve ever seen.

They claim that some areas in which fracking takes place (Texas only) have more sexually transmitted diseases. Embarrassingly funny and, yes, “fracking” stupid.

It is difficult to describe how badly I wanted to include the terms “Fracking” and “F#####” in that title.

But I had a momentary lapse in poor taste, so I went with a tamer choice. Researchers at the Yale School of Public Health did not.

They risked ridicule by putting out one of the dumbest papers I’ve ever seen:

“A Multi-Region Analysis of Shale Drilling Activity and Rates of Sexually Transmitted Infections in the United States” N. Deziel, et. al., Sexually Transmitted Diseases, January 9, 2020, DOI: 10.1097/OLQ.0000000000001

And, ridicule they shall have. Not my fault. They practically begged for it.

A. The claim

Here’s the premise: The rates of two sexually transmitted infections, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, were found to be 10% and 15%, respectively, higher in Texas counties where fracking took place compared to other counties where fracking wasn’t being done.

Is there anything to this? Let’s take a look (Hint: Other than a good laugh, no).

This was done by Yale via a Grant from the NIH... yes, your tax dollars at work.

There must be a lot of fracking going on near Yale, because these are the ravings of a syphilitic mind.

Why does a manufacturer of padlocks think we care about what they think of STDs and Fracking?

Oh...wait.....

That's "Tertiary Syphilis!"  (I learnt this from Mark Steyn on Tucker Carlson last night.)

You and I do, my friend, in one way or another.  With guns held to our heads.

I think they are confusing Fracking with another activity that starts with F and ends in G, considering the failure of American public schools I can see that there would be a lack of vocabulary and critical thinking skills in supposed graduates of the system.......................NAH! I agree the answer is they are fracking idiots.

The article was hilarious.  The numbnuts actually postulated that 3 of the 5 parameters (STDS) were lower in Fracking counties, but still reported this.  Yale must be really proud of this level of stupidity.  Also add another WTF point for the Dean who seemed to think this piece of art was worthy of the school's name.

Correlating absolutley two random unrelated hypotheses and variables  into ridiculous and unneccesary conclusions. 

As far as I am concerned this the more appropriate Yale on the building housing these bozos.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
