I continually see memes quoting statistics that claim to show the ineffectiveness of vaccines.
Anybody with even middle school level math competency should be able to see through the misrepresentation of these statistics.
A recent example stated that 85.7% of deaths over a particular week in Scotland were vaccinated people. The conclusion drawn was that the vaccines don't work because the vast majority of people dying were vaccinated.
What was left out in the post was that 94% of Scotland has received at least 1 dose and 74% has received 3 doses. That leaves only less than 6% of the population unvaxxed accounting for 12% of the deaths. This data suggests (suggests, doesn't prove anything), just the opposite of the conclusion drawn.
Misuse of statistics makes people look either stupid or dishonest. If you see something posted like this, you should immediately question your source. Anybody passing off this kind of stuff isn't vetting their sources or their numbers either through actual intent to mislead or sheer stupidity. Either way, the source cannot be trusted. Trusting such a source is just allowing yourself to be duped (which makes you a dupe) or a liar yourself.
Hold yourself to higher standards of integrity, please, everybody. It doesn't help anybody to lie about facts or pass on lies about facts.
That's cute, apparently you can just change the goalposts to fit your needs. Not very scientific.
I didn't change any goalposts. Show me anybody stating that the vaccines are 95% effective vs Delta or Omicron. You made the claim, now you can try to back it up.
I never made this claim. I simply cited the 95% claim used to sell this dangerous experimental gene therapy to laypeople. You introduced the concept of variants which I never acknowledged as a valid construct.
So internet troll "KiloRomeo" doesn't acknowledge variants as a valid construct, but this paper published in the New England Journal of Medicine, one of the top two or three medical journals in the world says:
The authors:
I would argue each and every one of them alone has more knowledge and expertise than internet troll "KiloRomeo" who claims to have "done the math" a "long time ago" (in a galaxy far, far away?).
Your pretentiousness is almost as laughable as your utter ignorance, dude. Put up your so-called "math" or I won't believe a word of what you say.
Stop projecting. You claim to be the expert, be the expert. So far all I see is personal attacks and no follow through.
