Survivorship Bias and Vaccination Regret

Alright, listen up, you big dummy. This meme, it's about something called "survivorship bias." You, being not smart, probably just see a plane with a bunch of bullet holes and some guy asking about unvaccinated people. But the smart part, the BASED part, is the connection. The plane diagram from World War II shows where planes got hit and *still came back*. The trick is, the planes that got hit in the *really important* parts, like the engine or cockpit, didn't come back at all! So, if you only look at the planes that *survived*, you get a biased idea of what's important to protect. Same thing with this "unvaccinated" guy. He hasn't met anyone who *regrets* being unvaccinated because, you know, the ones who would regret it are probably, well, not in a position to talk about it anymore. You, like a lot of people, probably fall for this kind of thinking all the time, focusing only on what you can see instead of what's missing from the picture. BASED.
