Proprietary COVID-19 and Vaccine thread

Like I said earlier, politicization causes polarization...

The effects of political affiliation on vaccine hesitancy:


"The most commonly checked news source for Republicans was Fox News (Republicans: 50%, Democrats: 8%; χ2 = 164.55, p < .001) and for Democrats was CNN (Democrats: 47%, Republicans: 23%, χ2 = 43.08, p < .001, see S6 Table)."

Besides having two different belief systems, it is obvious that the two groups also consume vastly different information.
The χ2 is the notation for a chi-square test, which is to detect if there is a statistically significant difference between the expected proportional outcome (theoretical proportion) and actual proportions. The p < .001 is the p-value, or loosely the probability that the results of the study were a random effect. Of note, statistical significance is usually applied to a cutoff (known as alpha level) of 0.05. P-values less than this are generally considered statistically significant. While I don't agree wholeheartedly with this, it is standard practice.
Going to quote this to move it to the new page in case anybody wants to know what we’re talking about, LOL

Funny I saw this article last week. What’s scary to me is if I wasn’t well versed in medical knowledge and how to actually understand medical research, I would very likely be exposed and believe the insane amount of disinformation out there because it’s so well targeted. My friends, who are all incredibly educated have and come to me for proper information and it amazes me the things the heard and had to be corrected on.
 


Remember what the Australian PM said? The 'unvaccinated' are removed from the economy?

It's heading this way. This was never about covid.

Same
Equally funny to me is you know my thoughts overall about a lot of these things Regarding this pandemic, although I have always advocated for the vaccine, and even I get accused of being working for some grand conspiracy when my friends come to me and I explain the actual medical research. And they know I lean towards the right, LOL
 


We need fewer compromised tweets, and more discussion from the guys who have gotten everything wrong for the last 18 months.

"Hey kids! Look what we've got....studies!!!! See? Experts say it's perfectly safe to get into a stranger's van!

And guess what else we've got? FREE CANDY!"

Its probably double what is being inputted in that system knowing how the system works. Not to even count the living people it messed up.

Where did the funding come from for this study?



The arrogance from the internet doctors ITT is quite comical. Including one who has been wrong and posted more DISINFORMATION than fauci.


But, good to see I was correct. Every time Numero Cincuenta starts losing his following, the Hap Me tags soon follow.

Like clockwork

Yeah but the real question is how many of those people would’ve died this year from their comorbidities and they not gotten Covid. And the reality is the vast majority of them would have not died this year, well over 90% would be a good estimate. Not to mention all the much younger healthier people that are dying this go around. I mean how many 25 year old people die just because they’re fat? And the answer is very few. How many 25 year old people die because they’re fat and they get Covid and the answer is quite a few more.

So what’s the blame in that case? Clearly, the answer to me, is the Covid because they weren’t gonna die at 25 just from being fat.
Why do you get to guess and no one else does? I guess your superior intellect?

1/1/20 - 9/8/21
25 YO Total Deaths - 9166
25 YO Covid Deaths - 269
2.9% of deaths in 18 months are attributable to Covid for 25 YO's.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1191568/reported-deaths-from-covid-by-age-us/

Same period
18-29 YO's are the second largest swath of the population at 16.9% and only represent 0.6% of all Covid deaths.

Death by cause is only up to 2019 so we can't tease out the Covid numbers. Either way, "quite a few more" is in the 250 range...and it seems like you've treated all of them? Dumb example is dumb, very little to support that Covid is doing significant damage to people as young as 25.

And as discussed, I'm sure that they all died because of and not just with Covid.

Tagging you guys because of the importance of this article, thought it might help y’all at your local levels

For @fatman76 @jfegaly @kjfreeze
While clearly this is something we all knew and suspected, what does research article does is it takes something that we think is obvious and approves that it’s true in this case. Sometimes medical research or scientific research take something that we assume it’s obvious and then proves it to be wrong. Both are equally important..
I'm not sure what your point is. During the time of this study Kamala was telling the public that she wouldn't take the Trump shot and Biden was expressing skepticism too. That's reflected in the inverse relationship in regards to Trust in the Federal gov't and trust in the media...as they were full-on TDS during this time trying to win an election.

Conservatives have always been for a traditional view of Freedom. Freedom in the active voice. "I'm free to own guns, free to travel, free to take what medical treatments me and my doctor agree upon". By nature that group is always going to be more reticent to take EUA type treatments (not that one existed during this timeframe).

Democrats view freedom "from" things. "I want to be free from someone giving me a pathogen, free from someone with a gun threatening me, free from someone saying mean things to me or about me." They'll typically trade in the active freedoms to achieve their passive goals. "I'll do my part to protect those around me, and so should you. I'll accept higher taxes if it means the poor get more. I'll give up my right to buy a gun so the bad guys won't be able to get them."

It's the basic nature of how the two groups view the world. Is that because of the news they consume or is the news that way because of them (remember, news has turned into entertainment and click grabbing)?

Does this even address causation, a topic so near and dear to your heart - or is it just confirming something that someone who has common sense and intellect could reasonably observe and rationalize?

But but but....they have STUDIES! Studies are infallible!

You goobers just don't have the mastery of your field to read studies like internet doctors do!

The fact this idiot even gets a seat at “the table” tells me all I need to know.

BTW, I find it interesting that internet doc's camp consists of about 5 posters, and I cannot recall a single instance of any one of them ever disagreeing with the other on a single covid-related issue. It's truly 5 people talking as one.

And you have about 5 people who are seeking the truth about the vaccines and covid. And that group is more or less split evenly between those who have taken the shots and those who have not.

Pretty obvious which group is keeping an open mind, and which one is simply parroting itself.

The hospitals are filling up they said…countdown until The Atlantic is cancelled for not fear porning hard enough?

Good news. The Atlantic is usually pretty solid, too IMO.
Edit: The news is good, but I had the Atlantic confused with another outlet. I don't know if it is a solid publication or not.

I’m sorry is this surprising? I can confirm that well over half of our patients are on medical floor is just on oxygen receiving therapy and most to get better and go home. Why is this even news it’s always been this way?
