I am not anti vax....but that 40X stat for TX is total BS...Kirsch rips it apart below:
The study says this:
Quote:
From January 15, 2021 to October 1, 2021, unvaccinated people were 40 times more likely to experience COVID-19-associated death than fully vaccinated people.
Wow. A 40X death benefit. That's impressive. I read the
Pfizer Phase 3 6 month study and it showed just a 2X death benefit. But the numbers were small there.
The study also says this:
Quote:
According to the state's study, between Jan. 15 and Oct. 1, "unvaccinated people were 45 times more likely to have an infection with COVID-19 than fully vaccinated people."
OK, if the Texas study is right, then how do we explain the
Harvard study Figure 1? The line should slope the other way since cases would be way down the more fully vaccinated you are.
And how do we explain the
UCSF study which showed the same viral loads for vaccinated and unvaccinated which means the vaccine didn't work at all?
Here's what one of my team members wrote (I think she missed seeing the full report):

"If you can get the data, I can try to make a proper interpretation. This one they present, is clearly garbage."

Quote:
My best friend in Dallas is a firefighter and EMT who drives ambulances. He told me before I flew to San Juan that almost everyone they drove was vaccinated.
Whoops! That anecdote has to be pretty embarrassing for their study! Reality seems to match the Harvard study.
Generally, the techniques they use to game these studies are:
[ol]
Definitions of "vaccinated" restrictedMost cases during period of legacy variantsNo accounting for naturally immuneNo accounting for early treatmentSince unvaxxed are tested in the hospital with all kinds of fatal conditions and the vaxxed are not, many dying of other conditions are swept into the unvaxxed C19 group without clinical C19[/ol]All designed to frighten Texas into vaccinating.
Horns down forever!
