This might be good news.

I'm too lazy to read but if it's a case where we've made the previous top causes safer then a "new worst" might mean that the previous worst is now less bad.

Fake news, everyone knows marijuana is the deadliest drug. That's why it's illegal and opiates aren't.

If you're trying to actually explain it to him you might as well get blood from a stone. He's not exactly super intelligent.
