Taking everything written at face value, a big problem with the author's thinking is that they ask "Did we have a complete picture of what the vaccines did, or were we standing on top of an iceberg with lots of information still lurking underneath?" but they do not seem to have the same concern about the virus. And that's strange, because there is ample evidence that SARS-CoV-2 infection is producing long-term effects in a lot of people, so we probably don't have a "complete picture of what the virus does".
- lstodd 5y ago"Is the cure deadlier than the disease" is a long-standing question. It was in fact deadlier for milennia. It's still not "settled".
- rpadovani 5y agoWell, it is for COVID tho, vaccines definitely caused less deaths than the disease.
- lstodd 5y agoif you delve deep enough into mathematical statistics, as in the theory and methods, you will realise that your statement does not mean that there would have been more deaths without any vaccine. It's that sort of 7th Seal [0] funny. And it means that the response as it was might have been a deadly mistake. edit: but as of now we just don't know.

- roca 5y agoThis has nothing to do with what I said.
- lstodd 5y agoMaybe mostly because you did not articulate any link between long-term effects and vaccination. I do not think this was researched at all.
- zem 5y agoone of the more sobering things i've read with regards to the current situation is that everything we associate with polio is actually "long polio". and the long covid data is pretty sparse right now.
