    Thanks. yes i realized the last one, and know of his work.

    Looking at the “method”, it doesn’t look like rocket-science. I’d like to know, is the publication itself a fraud or not?

      Fine, fine I’ll bite.

      Vaccine safety should be compared to the disease. Considering covid-19 is known to influence thrombotic events (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7931726/) it is bad science to not compare this( lie 1). This layers on to not including whether the patients who had these CTEs ever had covid, or other risk factors(lie 2). Without any exclusionary or comparative criteria of this sort it is not separating what is a “true” vaccine-related adverse event from just a general event.

      It makes zero sense to compare vaccines without any dose comparison(lie 3). Over 640 million doses of the covid-19 vaccine were given in the US. Whereas flu has about 150-200 million doses/year. Population receiving those doses is also different.

      Given how the method starts with lies, whatever statistics they have are already useless. That’s 3 lies of omission just in the abstract without bothering with further detail.

      All posting this does is spread disinformation and give them site views they don’t deserve.
