It doesn’t matter.

I like accuracy and empirical evidence. That’s a trait of Americans, of individuals.

The left is known for hyperbole and emotion-based nonsense. They follow the herd.

Cahill may have 25 year of experience. Big whoop…Fauci has tons of experience, too. That doesn’t mean I bow to either one of these jackwagons. She has no data…it’s all speculation, just like the Imperial College “model” that predicted we’d all die without 2 weeks to flatten the curve blah blah blah.

As for Slay, here’s another whopper…

First, their link to the study doesn’t work. Does anyone edit or proofread over there? Here’s the link:

Second, Slay omits the study’s title:
“Reports of COVID-19 Vaccine Adverse Events in Predominantly Republican vs Democratic States” and “Question Is state political inclination associated with COVID-19 vaccine adverse event (AE) reporting?”

Why? Probably to get clicks.

In fact, the researchers conclude “In finding that Republican-inclined states show higher COVID-19 AE reporting than Democrat-inclined states, this study suggests that Republicans are more likely to perceive or report those AEs and that Democrats are less likely to.”

In other words, the researchers suggest Republicans are more likely to file an AE while Dems are less likely. That’s it.

Now, we can IMPLY all sorts of things from that statistical observation. Dems may choose politics over health with regard to VAERS. The Repubs are undaunted. And so on. Heck, put on the tin foil hat…after all, the difference between a conspiracy theory and fact is about 2 years.

But that should be reported as a theory or suggestion or tin foil…not a FACT.

relatedly…Third, at NO PLACE in this study are deaths revealed to be “surging.” Indeed, “ Adverse events were reported to the VAERS as severe if they threatened or caused death or led to emergency visits, hospitalizations, or disability.”

If Slay had any reading comprehension skills, they’d see that deaths are lumped in with other things.

Thus, even with a statistically significant odds ratio (there’s no way the geniuses at Slay could even BEGIN to explain that is basically a relative odds metric) it is IMPOSSIBLE to claim that the trend of deaths went up, or down, or stayed flat.

Slay sucks. So does Ms Cahill. That conclusion transcends one’s vax status.
