    Gateway Pundit? Might as well put The Onion.

    The author of that study, Kyle Beattie, doesn’t have a medical background. He isn’t a virologist or anything, he’s a political science graduate!

    Also, that study is a preprint, a version of a scholarly or scientific paper that precedes formal peer review and publication in a peer-reviewed scholarly or scientific journal. It hasn’t been even peer-reviewed yet!

    in the US specifically, the jab has caused a whopping 38% more Covid cases per million – and an even more astonishing 31% increase in deaths per million.

    This kind of conclusion ignores many things like the omicron variant, vaccine hesitancy, vaccines reducing severe COVID cases, access to healthcare… but the readers of Gateway Pundit eat this all up to confirm their pseudoscientific beliefs.

      Actually

      Here are the facts

      Wikipedia is not a valid source. Its crowd sourced so any liberal biased person can make the claim a source they don’t like is fake news. It is you who is sharing fake news.

      Fact checked

      False

      Gateway pundit is a valid source

    Did they perform a Bayesian analysis? Did they maybe look at the psychological factors of Public Health that don’t exist in most medical studies?

    Perhaps they ignored that when people are vaccinated, dumbasses who are against vaccines decide to go out and have life as normal because they don’t understand shit from shit and end up dying?

        Hopefully you and yours die choking on your own throat.

          I for one am appalled. This study goes against everything I thought to be true so it makes me angry to know that perhaps I am wrong.

            Look at your source. Look at your sources bias. Look at the methods of the study. It’s not hard to realize that all of those things are flawed.

              Yeah I checked all that. It looks correct. I am a professional statistician and the numbers checkout. I have to change my mind on this one. The vaccines don’t work.

    I can’t tell if banning this troll so he comes back and puts in the effort or just letting him be will be funnier

    Do us all a favor: be not vaxxed and have a great time at a bug party. As big as you can. Take all your friends!

    I hope you enjoy it!

    Guys, OP’s right. Vaxed people do die. As do unvaxed people, but you know, details.
