That's strange cause I see it as a disaster for authoritarians, technocrats and bureaucrats.
They've truly lost the trust of the public and revealed themselves to be nothing more than hubristic level-pullers and demagogues.
Fauci lied throughout the entire pandemic. He handled it horribly. The death toll happened under his authority.
Let me guess: the public health establishment shouldn't be blamed for the absolute atrocious health of the average American?
Even worse he claimed his inept plans were being sabotaged or ignored by scapegoating Trump. This couldn't be further from the truth: he had complete control, rallying people behind the scenes to squash opponents & was illegally censoring people left and right through the fascist cooperation of federal govt and private corporations.
> No. It's saying the confidence intervals, which you omitted, overlap.
Moderna isn't looking good with this data either way.
> It turns out, the doctors and public health officials who recommended you get the Pfizer vaccine (instead of Moderna because you are a young man)
I don't think this was ever recommended when it was rolled out or during the unconstitutional vaccine mandate era.
> understand statistics better than you do
I have a degree that required high level math, I was able to read the data on IFR, etc. and see that I was never at any significant risk. If I'm vitamin D replete, physically fit and not obese I'll be fine. Turns out I was right.
> [The risk of myocarditis after vaccination was higher than baseline but] was lower than the risks after a positive SARS-CoV-2 test before or after vaccination (11.14 [95% CI, 8.64–14.36] and 5.97 [95% CI, 4.54–7.87], respectively)
> The risk of myocarditis was higher 1 to 28 days after a second dose of mRNA-1273 (11.76 [95% CI, 7.25–19.08]) and persisted after a booster dose (2.64 [95% CI, 1.25–5.58]).
Is this to say that Moderna carries a higher myocarditis risk than infection prior to vaccination? 11.76 vs 11.14.
They also very importantly mention that vaccination has a higher risk of myocarditis for men under 40.
In other words the healthiest portion of the population was coerced into needless health risk.
> Associations were stronger in men younger than 40 years for all vaccines. In men younger than 40 years old, the number of excess myocarditis events per million people was higher after a second dose of mRNA-1273 than after a positive SARS-CoV-2 test (97 [95% CI, 91–99] versus 16 [95% CI, 12–18]).
Presumably repeated infections carry less risk over time, I see no mention of this scenario.
> The reason you're downvoted is you're bringing anecdotes to a "multiple large studies with millions of data points" fight.
My point wasn't about the anecdotes, but the fact that it isn't a risk comparison of being vaccinated or getting infected, but rather the risk of vaccination AND infection vs. infection.
And presumably being infected once is tantamount to vaccination.
If you're vulnerable there's an argument but from my vantage covid vaccination for the majority of healthy people is just needless and excessive exposure to spike protein.
