Regular readers probably remember this article where I questioned the South Africa Discovery data showing the vaccine is 33% effective against omicron and 70% effective against hospitalizations. The basis for knowing that number was a lie was due to the test negative design the study used.
All of those headlines made me nervous because they'd just started jabbing teens, a little discussed fact. These figures are not reassuring at all. Unless we do autopsies of people that died, we'll never know what the excess deaths were from and I have no faith in the Covid-19 categorizations because they are easily manipulated to suit a specific narrative.
"The hospitalizations are in younger people"
"They are mild"
"The admissions are co-incidental"

How are you calculating VE here?
