I said you were condescending to me, which is exactly what saying "let me help" and proceeding to explain base rate fallacy to a math major is. I could have insulted you but I merely described exactly what you were doing in that moment.
Perhaps. But people create the conditions for threads like these when they say things like "90% of people dying are unvaccinated, and that's true everywhere" (I've actually heard that one!).
So of course, when there's a piece of evidence that falsifies that, it will be pointed out.
Your momma never taught you that two wrongs don't make a right?
78% of the UK population received at least 1 shot, and 89% of COVID deaths for that time frame were for those who were fully vaccinated.
We'd need to do some more adjustments here to get a better estimate into vaccine efficacy, with a bare minimum adjustment for age, but highly effective these vaccines aren't.
78% of those 50 and older are fully vaxxed with 3 doses.
What page is it on about 89% of people dying from Covid being vaccinated? I really would like to see it. Not reading through 58 pages. Someone on this thread must have read it since they posted about it.
And you didn't even read the footnote below your own table:
As has been pointed out many times here, if 100% of the population is vaccinated, then 100% of cases and deaths will be of vaccinated people. That does not mean the vaccines don't work, it just means the vaccines aren't 100% effective. But as the passage I posted below demonstrated, the vaccines greatly reduce your chance of dying from Covid.
Wouldn't we expect the overall number of cases/deaths to be lower in a 100% vaccinated population vs a 0% vaccinated population though? That part always gets left out of that common argument. The numbers aren't all that different between pre and post vaccination timelines. If anything, there are more now then before the vaccine became available.

If you can read, you can figure it out. Again, refer to the original post.
Nope. You are wrong. You really should leave this to the grownups.
You never took a statistics course did you? No actuarial training have you? Reading comprehension level?
Does this debate tactic work in your normal everyday life?
