Yes, an interesting topic... was just querying whether you'd misunderstood something in your follow up comments about vaccinated being more likely to die from covid (than unvaccinated?). Or perhaps it was me who misunderstood. I haven't studied it either.

In terms of data, I'm talking about the clinical trials, and real life data. For example, although numbers of cases are rising, hospitalisations are much lower than they were before vaccination.

I was just suggesting that expert opinion might hold more clout, interest and validity - but I don't have contacts. Sorry. Perhaps should have kept my ideas to myself. Just thought you might be leaping to conclusions that might put people off being vaccinated.

It's impossible to tell what those figures mean without reading the whole report, or comprehending it. With 90% of adults vaccinated, if the vaccine was causing more deaths by covid, I'd expect the figures to be much higher. *Proportionally* death rates are actually much lower among vaccinated than among unvaccinated. So to me, this suggests the vaccines are doing what they're supposed to do.

No harm in some healthy debate, as you say.
