What Does this Mean for Hawaii.  The host for this episode is Jay Fidell.  The guest for this episode is Mike DeWeert.

Mike DeWeert helps us understand The Cases are Picking up in Hawaii; What Does this Mean for us.  We discuss what is happening here and the astonishing combination of ignorance, disinformation, and lack of access on the mainland. In New York, they found that unvaccinated people have 33 times the risk of infection than vaccinated people do. Yet, the media keeps harping on the few vaccinated people who get sick!  Not just with covid, but with a lot of other things, the innumeracy (akin to numerical illiteracy) in our society cripples our ability to rationally assess risks and benefits.  Innumeracy kills!
