COVID-19: Chapter 10 - Mission Achomlished!

The Florida surgeon general is a complete moran

You always want to wait for other studies to back up really odd results like this.

No one should waste time looking at a non-peer reviewed piece of trash study from Florida’s deplorable SG.

Anyways though, I looked at it. The description of their methods is woefully inadequate. Assuming they didn’t just lol it up statistically, they had 29 deaths in their age group of 25-39. The difference is easily explained by people who are sicker are going to get vaccinated in that age group.

Finally… I don’t trust for a second they just happened to have an age group of 25-39, which is a freaking weird age bracket to use. I’m guessing that if you did it 18-29 and 30-39 you’d have no difference.

It’s a worthless paper.

In the 28 days following vaccination, no increase in risk was observed for all-cause deaths

This study cannot determine the causative nature of a participant’s death.

The underlying data are even more embarrassing for them than I would have guessed.

In other news, vaccination apparently protects 18-39 year old males from non-cardiac death.

I’ve also heard that vaccination increases your risk of dying in a car crash while driving to and from the vaccination site versus people who stayed home.

Don’t get me wrong, my anger is not at you.

I should have been clearer in my first post.

I was trying to make a joke. It’s harder these days. Serious question i have about ages and vaccines is my toddler was vaccinated few months ago now but do you guys think this booster is going to be offered to them soon?

5 plus supposed to be imminent, toddlers not sure have an ETA yet.

even if this is real, the baseline rate of cardiac arrest for 18-39 year olds is probably what, like 1:1000000? The increased risk of cardiac arrest is almost certainly dwarfed by the decreased risk of severe long covid symptoms or death.

like, if someone offered you $100 with the only condition being that you had your chances of hitting the powerball reduced by 90% for a month, a lot of people would turn that down.

Yeah that part is handwaved.

some fraction of people who take the $100, will still buy powerball tickets that month

Finally got my second booster yesterday, feel fine and haven’t died of a heart attack yet. Also still on team novid, as far as I know.

I didn’t bring my vaccine card and they made me drive home and get it after they couldn’t confirm that I got all of my previous shots, even though I got all of them at the same pharmacy chain.

Following up on this, I’d wager an 18-39 year old is at least 1000 times more likely to die in a car crash on the way home from the vaccination site as they are of dying from myocarditis from the shot. 1000 is probably magnitudes too low too.

And those people would still be acting more rationally than the people who refuse the $100.

Just got boostered and changed my vote accordingly in Wookie’s poal.

So far a little bit of arm pain and nothing else. I hope it doesn’t get me too bad.

Minus the arm pain, I didn’t start feeling the effects until 12 hours or so after the shot.

The good news is that they lasted about half a day when I did feel them.
