This is why Russia Today is quite possibly the most incredibly BS news network anywhere. Yes, worse than FOX. If you can invite Liam motherfucking Scheff onto your show with no sense of irony and have him spew his schtick about the Padian paper without even fact-checking it, then you are not a news network. You're 4chan. Although I'd like to think even /b/ has slightly higher standards than that.
For those wondering, here's the Padian paper he's talking about. The key quote is in the first paragraph, on page one, in the abstract.
Overall, 68 (19%) of the 360 female partners of HlV-infected men (95% confidence interval (Cl) 15.0-23.3%) and two (2.4%) of the 82 male partners of HlV-infected women (95% Cl 0.3-8.5%) were infected
Hmm. Is 68 the same as zero? Is 2 the same as zero? It would have taken a full 30 seconds for whoever invited this shitstain onto the network to type "padian paper" into google, pull it up, and read the abstract. For some reason, they didn't do that.
Fuck Russia Today. If your fact-checking standards are that lax, you don't get to call yourself a fucking news source. Full stop.
...Also, chapter two should be done by the end of the week. I hope.
Ok then
