      i give statistics from an actual study, and you respond with a list of anecdotes?

      you are the problem. you can convince yourself of anything, just by cherry picking the right anecdotes. you’ll believe exactly what you want to believe, with no consideration for the truth.

        Dude, that pretty much proves you are parrotong what you have been fed by authorities.

        What I gave you is much more than the statistical aggregates you are talking about. Newspapers have published the names, age, etc for each of them.

        And I don’t know what is your exposure to the field of statistics, but 5000 “anecdotes” are statistically significant.

          Antivaxxer arguments are so incredibly sad.

          “You are parrotong(sp) what you have been fed by authorities” - Right - they’re authorities because they’re the top relevant medical experts and scientists involved. Reading a twitter thread doesn’t make you an authority. See the difference? What you are doing is parroting (spelling matters) typical antivax conjecture.

          What you gave is, as previously mentioned, anecdotes. You could provide a million of them, they’re still anecdotes.

          Exposure to the field of statistics? Would you like to talk to the experts involved with VAERS and the like so you can actually get educated about what they find significant?

            They are authorities, because they are authorities. Good one. I am really convinced now.

            Forget twitter. Mind reading something from the authorities? Check table 2, page number 13, of 41st week review of vaccination by PHE. Last two columns specifically. It states, statistically, that if you are over 30, and vaccinated, you are more likely to to get covid positive than if you are unvaccinated.

            And remember, I am not yet referring you to any “antivax conjecture”.

                  That was interesting, thanks. So table 2 has to looked at together with table 3 and 4. But the same information shown much more clearly in figure 2 on pages 17 and 18.

                  And page 12 is a fairly good summary, there’s not much I could add to that. Do you agree with page 12 or is there another way of looking at it?
