I know she made many that were wrong. Just thought this one was curious.

A stopped clock tells time right twice a day.

This is simple confirmation bias. If you claim to be "psychic," you make hundreds of predictions. No-one remembers the 299 you got wrong, only the one you got right.

My other comment, is that there is ALWAYS a new virus coming out. Before Covid there was SARS, avian flu, swine flu, etc. How bad does something have to be before her prediction of a "severe" disease can be validated? The vast majority of people who got Covid didn't even know, and the vast majority of those who did got the equivalent of a minor to severe flu. So who was this "severe" when a vast majority of people didn't really suffer from it?

I had it. I thought I had a minor flu and didn't believe when diagnosed.

Already a thread about this one.

Broken clock is still right twice a day.

It was discussed when the pandemic was going full blast, and many didn't believe her because she says the illness would be gone almost as quick as it arrived, yet that didn't happen. Here we are 3 years into it and many people are still getting sick and others are even still dying.

And if I wrote a thousand predictions the odds are that at least one of them would be true.

Did you see the one right above it on the page? Nothing of the sort happened. Her predictions are like shooting with a shotgun blast, you're bound to hit something. If you make enough predictions, at least one of them will likely come true.

Sylvia Browne takes advantage of grieving relatives to bilk them out of their money to pay for her phony baloney readings, or seances, or whatever she calls them. A dear friend paid hundreds of dollars to her for a reading after she lost her college age daughter. The crap she told her was nonsense. Some people say that if it makes the grieving person feel better, that it's money well spent, but I think it's just like selling snake oil to the sick and dying. It's just a rip-off and a way to make a living off of others' pain.
