> Uncited. And poorly argued It isn't an academic paper. This data is readily available to fact check. The idea that your choices can impose a cost on other people is appropriate for the argument he is making, and the fact that you don't recognize that argument — despite how clearly it is made — reflects poorly on you, not on Kareem. > This is flat out wrong. There is no evidence that the vaccines saved any lives. In fact, from the very first big data dump in December 2020 (https://twitter.com/breckyunits/status/1348080756921303041 https://twitter.com/breckyunits/status/1348080756921303041) You misunderstood the report, looking only at deaths before enough people could get infected to cause a significant difference in deaths. That data you pointed to is a table that shows the vaccine is safe. The rest of the report shows the number of severe infections after both groups had a chance to get infected, which showed that the vaccination is effective. Funnily, somebody pointed this out to you years ago, and you still didn't understand it. https://mobile.twitter.com/rchrdbyd/status/1348091355256532993 https://mobile.twitter.com/rchrdbyd/status/13480913552565329... This was sufficient to start vaccinating people because people were dying and in-person business had ground to a standstill, and after the start of vaccination, the rate of COVID-19 death among the unvaccinated was clearly higher than for vaccinated, no matter which covariates you controlled for. > I have a scientific background and numerous published papers. And yet you completely misread a very simple paper that thousands of other scientists did not.
