This is such a huge data set that its statistical power is undeniable. It comes from a nation we claim to have first-world status, and where medical records are cohesive and thus very hard to run into accidental or intentional hiding. And while it is not (yet) peer-reviewed unless serious statistical problems are found the data damn well ought to be paid attention to.
It also includes and in fact is almost exclusive to Delta, which if you remember was going to be the death of everyone not-vaccinated, even if previously infected with another strain. And finally, and most-germane here, it includes the cohorts that nobody else has reported on -- those who had both vaccination and infection as immunity-generating events.
It turns out the claims that "you must get jabbed", especially if you were previously infected, were a damned lie.
Due to the nearly-universal vaccination in this nation (Israel) there is no longer a control group of unvaccinated people of sufficient size to provide good data. How convenient! |
