Anyone intelligent enough can use and abuse correlations to make statistics say what they want them to say. The only double-blind 3-month experimental trial of Pfizer vaccines found around 60% more fatalities among volunteers who received Pfizer vaccines versus those who received the placebo. It would have been more if they counted those who died within 7 days of receiving the vaccine. But they did not count those. You will not find this in mainstream media. But lawyers working on behalf of skeptics (so-called conspiracy theorists) applied the Freedom of Information Act to demand Pfizer’s report on the 3-month trial and found the surprising fatality figures when they also demanded an appendix which the main body of the report referenced in small print.
Thanks mf. Yes, I've just scratched the surface here. 'Severity', of course, might be a bit harder to define than 'death'. The topic really needs some serious statisticians on the job. It's a bit outside my area of true expertise! On that subject though; trying to educate anti-vaxxers is similar to trying to educate climate-deniers. They're both determined to stay buried in their rabbit holes.
