What's the joke? It seems to me they're trying to make a point about the study that appears lower on the page, the one claiming that vaccinated people are dying at a higher rate than unvaccinated.
- Hnrobert42 5y agoOlder people die more often than younger people. More older people are vaccinated than younger people. The study at the bottom shows that vaccinated people are dying at a higher rate than unvaccinated people. The joke is on the person who concludes that the increase in death rate is because of the vaccine and not the age difference.

- boole1854 5y agoThe joke is that not taking into account all known correlated predictors when performing a statistical analysis can produce absurd results. In this case, age is a metric variable known to be a correlated predictor of what movies an individual has seen, the probability of their death due to COVID-19, and the probability of their being vaccinated against COVID-19. The precise relationship between those four items is beside the point here -- the point is just that if you did not take into account that age is a metric variable and that it is a correlated predictor of both vaccination status and death, then you did your analysis incorrectly.
