For anyone reading the above comment, please note the dishonesty in the presentation of the studies. One of them states:

In contrast to what has been reported in the news media, the data from this study CANNOT be used to infer any breed-specific risk for dog bite fatalities (e.g., neither pit bull-type dogs nor Rottweilers can be said to be more “dangerous” than any other breed based on this study).

So just be careful in taking anything in the comment at face value.
