”There are MANY other factors involved other than vaccinated and non.”
Which of those factors make my statement untrue?


You have a complex system and predict on two variables? You have to ask?

This is the same reason the greens predict the ocean sea level to raise 352 feet in their models.

"You have a complex system and predict on two variables?"

I didn't predict anything. I calculated the benefit of the vaccine based on some simplified assumptions. One is that football players are either vaccinated or not. The NFL believes that they can make that distinction.

My premise also included the assumption that 95% of the players were vaccinated and the other 5% are not. That may or may not be the case.

If my premise is true, then there is great reduction in infection associated with being vaccinated for NFL players, despite that the number of present infections might be the same for both vaccinated and unvaccinated players.

The RATE of infection would be dramatically different for the two groups. Are you claiming otherwise? Are you claiming that the rate of infection is equal for the two groups or that the rate of infection is greater for the vaccinated group?

BUT YOU SAID UP FRONT, YOU DIDN’T PREDICT ANYTHING.

You don’t’ have a Thinking Cap (tm) do you?

Folks,

Each and every one of us is unique in our genetics, history, environment, etc. variables upon variables. infinite variables.

This knucklehead wants to look at two variables and think he understands it. But it does give a simple answer for simple people.

"You don’t’ have a Thinking Cap (tm) do you?"

No, of course not. I got my Masters in Electrical Engineering from Stanford in a cereal box. My entire 31 year technical career was based on primal instinct, not thinking.

You have yet to explain your objection to my premise or explain how the conclusion doesn't follow from it. Calculating infection rates if you know the total population and the number infected is not a prediction. It is a calculation. And a pretty simple one at that.

Are 95% of NFL players vaccinated?

Are 5% of NFL players unvaccinated?

Are the number of players who are in each of these two groups roughly equal?

If so, simple calculation shows that the infection rate for one group is dramatically different for the other group.

"... who are in each group ..." should have been "... who are infected in each group ..."

It appears that we have been lied to. It appears that being vaccinated does not keep you from getting Covid 19. The CDC keeps reporting that a good number of vaccinated people keep getting the virus. I wish the CDC would start telling us the truth instead of bending things the way they want them to go. If all these people are vaccinated and are getting the virus, then why are we all getting vaccinated? I got the J&J vaccine back in march. If I can still get the virus, then why did I or anyone else get vaccinated. I am beginning to suspect a giant conspiracy. We the people deserve an explanation from the CDC. If we do not get it, more and more people will be questioning.

Do you not understand how complex the situation is? This is systems within system. Will you not think? We are not formulas a number like the libs want to think we are. We are unique indivuals

You look at two variables and think you can predict. Yes, maybe in electrical science, but not in humans, society and disease.

Electricity is one small system and we think we understand that but it too is full of many surprises.

Just because you have an answer to 12 decimal points doesn’t mean anything.

yes, a calculation. The same simple calculation that determines the ocean level will rise 532 feet in the next 5 years.

A calculation, a simple formula. IS IT RIGHT?
