> Just look at UK or Israel and the case rates there for how effective vaccines are against transmission. It is not a reader's job to "just look at ...". Point us to a study if you want to persuade. Furthermore, pointing at a data set or graph is not sufficient. Data in isolation (by this I mean a table full of numbers) does not prove causation. Only by understanding how the data is collected (i.e. the experimental design) can we start to reason about causation. I'm saying this because I've seen people point to a graph and say "Don't you see X?" (where X is an inference) as if it were an obvious fact. On the contrary, a valid inference requires statistical thinking, which requires understanding how the data was collected and some kind of model.
