The graphs are preposterous. This looks like an exercise in finding what you want to see in noise. I’m horrified at the thought of this paper being disseminated to the general populace that won’t understand that. Hungary by far has the highest “excess mortality” but the lowest vaccination rate in the three (!) mass vaccination countries used for the whole paper and in Table A-1. In fact remove Hungary and there isn’t even an effect I assume. They are just averaging the three countries together! Israel and UK aren’t even high it’s just that Hungary is super high and doesn’t have lots of other countries to average out its variance. Czechia, Slovakia, and Poland have vastly higher excess mortality than Israel and UK but are in the low vaccination category. It’s nonsense.
