Today the front page of the Daily Mail trumpets the news that three quarters of the population would have the vaccine if Boris has it first.
How easy it would be for the politicians to have a photo shoot that purports to be them getting the vaccine.....when what they might be getting is a shot of normal saline.

Inside the poll goes through the questions asked and the responses given....and if you swallowed those statistics then you would be crazy.
Nowhere on the poll does it say when the poll was done or how many participants were involved....so this is a very good example of how statistics are used to mislead( though I would prefer to call it what it is - lying).
If you are interested in those details you have to head over to the pollster website.....and there you will find that the sample that this poll was conducted on was 1016.....what percentage is that of the population in this country?
I have told you before that I failed maths, but I know it is an infinitesimal per centage....and as such is not to be taken as of any informative value.

They Lie.....and they lie for a reason...you work it out.
