The problem is that 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality is too big to be explained solely by the vaccine. The reduction is similar when excluding deaths due to COVID-19, and is probably driven by people who got the vaccine being different in some ways that the observational study isn’t controlling for.
- bluGill 10mo agoIf you don't get the covid vaccine you probably do other risky things. Not get other vaccines, don't see the doctor about various issues...
- TheBigSalad 10mo agoCould it mean that lots of Covid deaths are being attributed to other things?
- hannob 10mo agoYeah, but there's a plausible explanation for this: Likely, people who get vaccinated also are more likely to do other things to improve their health.
- bloqs 10mo agoNot getting the vaccine is statisically correlated with distrust in traditional medicine, and suceptibility to giving undue attention and credit to unfounded and unsound practices.
