Substack pimping is the new blog pimping.

This sentence from the study seems to undermine the case this cretin is trying to make:

“This study found that, in a VA population in fall-winter 2022-2023, being hospitalized for COVID-19 vs. seasonal influenza was associated with an increased risk of death.
....
The increased risk of death was greater among unvaccinated individuals compared with those vaccinated or boosted—findings that highlight the importance of vaccination in reducing risk of COVID-19 death.”

Hey troll-boi.

Here's a literal cut-and-paste from the substack article, so people know why you're blowing smoke. He doesn't ignore or suppress it, like you falsely claim.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Here are the findings for DEATH:

The paper found that there failed to be a statistically significant death benefit from 1 or 2 doses vs. the unvaccinated. It didn’t point this out. This is a big deal: if you were vaccinated with the primary series vs. unvaccinated, they found NO STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT DEATH BENEFIT. At the very best, the benefit was 2.32/1.66 which works out to 40% fewer deaths, but the numbers were simply too small to say it was better (the error bars overlapped by 50%).

For boosted vs. the unvaccinated, the 95% error bars almost touched, so scientists can say that it’s 95% likely that the boosted people died less in the hospital if they got COVID (but there is a 5% chance that there also is no difference). But remember that if you get boosted and are still alive, there is selection bias.
