Assume for the purpose every single one of the ~600 is old. Same outcome. Indeed leaving them in, according to your own source makes vaccines look worse than they are! Given how the large sample size etc is I am more than comfortable taking the UK unstratified data and clncluding the vaccines are effective.
> Because of age confounding, it is crucial to stratify by age groups, and further to remove children from the <60yr group; otherwise Simpson's paradox makes vaccines look like they are not effective in protecting against COVID-19 deaths at all.
- incrudible 5y agoNo matter how you twist and turn it, the vaccines are significantly less effective in the people who need it the most, to the point where a significant amount of deaths, in both absolue and relative terms, occur in the fully vaccinated. That means better options for treatment are still needed. That is the point I am making, nothing else.
- shapefrog 5y agoYou are litterally making shit up by saying a significant amount of deaths, in both absolue and relative terms, occur in the fully vaccinated Best of luck to you on your propaganda campaign.
- incrudible 5y ago> You are litterally making shit up by saying a significant amount of deaths, in both absolue and relative terms, occur in the fully vaccinated Let's go back to current UK data: During the delta wave, 1,613 deaths have been fully vaccinated. That's 70% of deaths, despite high vaccine efficacy. If that's not significant, then the other 722 unvaccinated deaths aren't significant either. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1018547/Technical_Briefing_23_21_09_16.pdf https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...
