That is incorrect. You can have a 6% increase in both absolute and relative risk. I discuss both measures in my blog here:https://medium.com/s/journalists-are-wrong-about-health/bathtubs-are-scarier-than-sharks-a39c8fbfe17c …

Relative risk = p(risk 1)/p(risk 2) Absolute risk = p(risk 1) - p(risk 2) If p(risk 1) = .99 and p(risk 2) = .93 relative risk difference would .99/.93 = 6% and absolute would be .99-.93 = 6%

Sure if the absolute risk is high. that’s why I asked what the absolute risk was
