I really dislike the anecdotes, both pro-vax as in this case, and anti-vax so common around here.
The DATA says that most people with COVID who are critically ill or who die are unvaccinated. This is certainly true in my practice.
Study the facts, make your own decision. But don’t do it because a vaccinated or an unvaccinated person died.
I really appreciate your even-handed take on vax. I haven’t gotten the vax, and am currently recovering from the WuFlu. It has basically been an extended head cold. Hopefully it continues like this.
A huge problem that we are having as a country is the result of our having destroyed the credibility of almost every institution. In the case of the vaccine, comparing the U.S. to foreign data shows that something isn’t right, and either we are fudging our data, or foreign countries are fudging their data. This discrepancy is true both as to the effectiveness of the vaccine and its risks.
Once you can’t trust institutions, then you are left looking in your own sphere of experience. In my sphere, I know two people dead of COVID, and three dead of clotting issues shortly after receiving the vaccine. I know 1 or 2 additional people hospitalized from COVID, and I know about 6 who were hospitalized from the vaccine, including one 18-yo male with myocardititis, and one 15-ish yo female with Bells palsy followed by a diagnosis of MS.
I wish we could trust our institutions so I could rely on a more complete data set, but I since I can’t, I’m doing the best I can.
Who's data?
Most people here this winter, that are seriously ill with Covid, also have the flu. You can get both at the same time. My doctor told me to get my flu shot but not to worry about getting the Covid vaccine unless I wanted it. I don’t. Having both at the same time has probably been the problem for the last two years.
There are morons on both sides of this issue.
Sorry, any DATA that people don’t agree with is ‘Fake News’.

Speaking of facts, can you tell me what the ingredients in the vaccine are?
“Study the facts, make your own decision. But don’t do it because a vaccinated or an unvaccinated person died.”
Yep, I wish other governors had the same take as Abbott, DeSantis and Noem do. Make decisions for yourself.
There is very little reliable DATA concerning COVID illness and deaths. The tests are iffy, the reporting and compiling of DATA is suspect.
The unvaccinated are dying & in the ICU at a 10 times higher rate.
“The DATA says that most people with COVID who are critically ill or who die are unvaccinated.”
Can you post some data that definitively and objectively shows that to be true?
A California deputy district attorney and rising Republican star who slammed vaccine mandates a month ago at a Turning Point USA rally has died from complications of the virus.

So, Dr. Noble, my first question of you concerning the above statement is WHO SAYS? she died of Covid? Your a doctor, isn’t the only way to tell conclusively that she died by Covid an autopsy? If such a statement is coming from a news reporter, and it appears it is, it’s worthless to those of us lay folks out here trying to evaluate what the hell to do.
If, on the other hand, the statement comes from a named Doctor, it will have some value to the general public although Doctor’s seem to be all over the lot on the issue too.
I know that I am repeating myself, but I think people should consider the fact that when the China virus first became known, there was a panic response by virtually every nation’s leader. I believe they were told something about this virus that scared the crap out of them. As far as I am aware, none has shared this information.
The DATA says no such thing.
That is because there is no DATA, only anecdotes, including yours.
The anecdotes are wildly contradictory. They may all be accurate, but we are dealing with something that has extremely large variation in the outcomes. And there is malicious intention and biased selection behind the presentation of many anecdotes.
The only institutions with access to DATA and incentives for accurate, unbiased DATA are the life and health insurance companies. They haven't been publicizing their findings until very recently. What they have been muttering about in the actuarial trade publications for the last two years looks extremely bad and does not support the vaccination narrative at all.
What a significant insurance company has just publicly said about the "all-cause" mortality statistics for the last year (up 50%+ in the 18-60 age group) strongly suggests (12-sigma) that we have just doomed two thirds of this country to early death. From the mRNA treatments. It will show up as a huge increase in cardiac problems, strokes, embolisms, and miscarriages for age groups where these never used to occur with any frequency.
These are already showing up in "the DATA".
The DATA says that most people with COVID who are critically ill or who die are unvaccinated. This is certainly true in my practice
US data, which has been demonstrated over and over to be very inaccurate.
Many European countries have reported the opposite. Germany and England have reported that over 90% of patients hospitalized have had the jab.
How do you explain the huge increase in death claims reported by the insurance companies? One week’s spike is not significant. but two quarters (six month’s) means something major is taking place and it can not be explained by anything other than the jab. I say that because the insane pressure over the jab is the only significant health event to take place in the US in the last two years.
Occam’s Razor is not always the way to truth, but is is so often that it is the first place to start.
The DATA says that most people with COVID who are critically ill or who die are unvaccinated. This is certainly true in my practice.
Study the facts, make your own decision. But don’t do it because a vaccinated or an unvaccinated person died.
Good, thoughtful comments.
Personally, I'm not against being vaccinated, but I'm very much against mandates.
You believe their DATA?
