The control was there. The comparison was between both 10 to 59 groups.
“ The control was there. The comparison was between both 10 to 59 groups.”
No it was not.
We’re both groups equally distributed by age (e.g., exactly the same proportions of 12 year olds and 58 year olds?
No, of course not.
Virtually no 12 year olds were vaccinated, while the majority of 58 year olds were.
Notice how the lines cross - vaccinated mortality goes up, while unvaccinated mortality goes down, below the long term average.
It is a simple matter of the higher risk individuals moving from one group to the other.
