So how’d you find this article, champ?


Reading the AMA daily briefs during my morning dump. I then read the actual study in the BMJ. I posted the Hill story because BMJ is behind a firewall.


You got any specifics from the actual study that make it believable. The story you posted makes it seem like complete bs.

1. Almost 20 million people about 50/50 for vaccinated. Need a ton more details on this sample. A size that large was probably just an analysis of random data and not something done specifically for the study, so what was the criteria when they were looking at who to include?

2. The story you posted had blanket percentages for all the major vaccines. I'm sure that's an average for all and the actual study breaks it down further. It's a garbage article because for a sample size that large, there is no reason to not be specific when posting the results. It is not quality writing to use an average across the results in scientific writing, unless they didn't even bother to breakdown the results by type. In either case, your source is garbage and it makes it look like the actual source of the study is garbage as well.

They are in the BMJ study that I linked in the OP. I am busy seeing patients in clinic this morning. I went post the important things from the BMJ article during my lunch break or this evening if I have time.

It’s broken down in the study published in the BMJ.
