"At this point, this looks like about as clear a signal as one could find. release the rest of this data.
cliff notes:
one must assess full risk/reward to accurately gauge a medical intervention
this bar is especially high for vaccines given to the healthy
by may 2022 having ever taken a covid vaxx was associated with 22-74% greater all cause mortality vs being unvaccinated and this was true in ALL age stratifications.
risk rates were still rising when publication of this data series was discontinued and could well be higher now
some benefit against “death by covid” was still in evidence but was rapidly diminishing and was clearly either being miscounted or swamped by some other form of mortality.
this implies deeply negative overall risk/reward from covid vaccines and raises pointed questions about their continued promotion and the processes by which they were approved. there was no age group in which they were associated with overall mortality benefit. ...
based on the best data i have seen, having ever been vaccinated looked to be associated with something on the order of 50-60% higher rates of all cause mortality in the UK by may.
that’s a seriously bad outcome and either this “shark armor” is being sold under false pretenses of efficacy or the drowning risk it adds is by far dominating any selachimorpha snack suppression.
yes, this is not RCT data, but honestly, i think it’s about as good as we’re ever going to get here, especially as pfizer and moderna eliminated their control groups 6 months into the trials (and were showing no all cause deaths benefit even then)
based on this data, it’s difficult to recommend that pretty much anyone who is not in some sort of outlandishly high risk category even consider these products and frankly, i suspect VE vs covid have gotten worse rather than better and have basically zero trust in the claims being made by CDC et al who look to be cooking the data in several meaningful ways.
