“Five-year survival rates cannot be calculated from incidence and mortality rates, as any good epidemiologist knows,”

And Guiliani is supposed to be a good epidemiologist? Again I'm not saying his facts where correct, only that there is no evidence that he was lying when he mentioned them.


No one expects Giuliani to be a good epidemiologist, but if a presidential candidate wants to cite statistics about the incidence of disease we should expect him to be advised by a competent epidemiologist.

If we could get inside Giuliani's head and determine whether he knew he was lying, maybe there'd be enough evidence to prosecute him for a hate crime.
