So...they nuked their control groups. I'm not sure why you start off your comment denying it, then explain that I was exactly right. There is no control group.
- mikeyouse 5y agoYou literally don't know that - the only evidence you have is articles saying that some of the people in the control groups opted to get the vaccine. And "they" didn't nuke their control groups -- you're implying this was something the pharma companies did, not something patients decided to do. "The control groups were nuked" is something you could claim, which is still overblown because you have no idea how many people actually chose to be vaccinated vs. not.
- yucky 5y agoThere literally is no control group anymore though, that isn't disputed. Once you make the vaccine available to the group that is not supposed to be vaccinated, you no longer have a control group. It doesn't matter if 20% of them got the vaccine or 100% of them did, at that point you can't get controlled data.
