Apparently this is what passes for science in Canada these days. I realized it was propaganda disguised as science before I even got through the abstract. It's a model that simulates their flawed assumptions not actual empirical research. (media.conspiracies.win)

So, absolutely no real-world research or data. I’ve actually already told my kids that they will not be allowed to date or marry a vaxxed person, even if they are still alive in a few years (which is not likely or they will be consistently sick).

Exactly. They built a video game where vaccinated people can’t get Covid and then “observed” that vaccinated people didn’t get Covid.

Just like a video game except it only has NPC characters

As far as I can tell, the only data they used were the data fed into the computational model as inputs. To be clear this technique can be really useful though only if units are good -and- conclusions need to be severely restricted which I don't really see well expressed

Simulations are only as reliable as the source data that helped create them

How exactly are they modelling transmission? Something like:

Likelyhood of vaxxed spread: 0% Likelyhood of unvaxxed spread: 100%

I mean, is there even a difference in spread rates between these populations? The case numbers don't suggest it.

Edit: Fun fact, two of the three authors have done work for Public Health.

"We made a model which would generate X outcome by building assumptions designed around biases that X occurs....so we were surprised cough when it predicted X as the outcome."

I read it too. The amount of “may”, “should”, “might” etc. in that document could choke a cow. Their model is flawed as are their conclusions.

Their assumptions are not flawed! You can see the brutish, slime-covered, anti-vax, neo-nazi zombies shambling all over the country side. Spending even one femtosecond amongst them will override everything science can possibly do.

Stay vaxxed, brother.

/Just wait until we get to climate-science levels of modeling. Not only will we have a surefire cure that moves it's goal posts every time a government wants more power, it will also be utterly impossible to control no matter what we do.
