I teach you how to interpret data (and statistics) to tackle misinformation. I am an electrical engineer and data scientist with vast experience in sensor development (inertial, biomedical) and SPC (statistical process control).

Commercial aviation (under part 121) consistently demonstrates a remarkably low accident rate; despite millions of flights annually, the actual risk remains minuscule. The FAA oversees over 10 million flights per year.

I think the balance comes from teaching "how to ask the right questions" about data, and it can be done with a statistics framework.
After all, the more you know, the more you realize you don't know.

The same can be said about motor-vehicle deaths ~50% of casualties are not buckled (based on known seat belt use). One would be tempted to assume seatbelts aren't effective.
However, seatbelt use is >90%, meaning one is 10 times more likely to die as a passenger if one is unrestrained.

This means that if you account for the # of consumers, the risk of hospitalization & death is 27x & 10X higher, respectively, from regularly consuming unpasteurized products vs. pasteurized ones.
