A question for people who are indiscriminate Covid vaccination proponents- Why do we need to rig the vaccine effectiveness data if the vaccines are working?
Couldn’t the converse also be true? Namely that, the higher the case counts, the more new people went and took the vaccines? That seems pretty reasonable or at least it’s likely to explain some portion of the affect.
I've grown rather suspicious of these "per 100,000" case counts. They just don't correspond with what I'm seeing on the ground-- which led me to asking why all of the U.S. states I've looked at seem to only report case rates among vaxxed and unvaxxed (refusing to share both the numerators and the denominators they use to get these rates). It's reasonable to compare rates per 100,000-- but there is no transparency about how they reach their conclusions about how many people are vaccinated and not vaccinated.
Anecdotally, too, MANY people (including the vaccinated) have told me they know they caught covid from a fully vaccinated (often boosted) person. My own family caught covid from a fully vaccinated family who didn't (want to) think their cold symptoms were covid. Vaccinated people are the real superspreaders, and that is just what your graph shows.
Why does no one (present company excepted) care about Simpson's paradox when it is inconvenient for them. We can tell from the media freakout that Omi is reaching a lot more young people than anything before it, and young people are less vaccinated.

So glad I found your Substack!
