TuvixJust skimming that MDPI article, there are a few things that jump out as very poorly reviewed. Some of the data claims don't even discuss the data evaluated (and what *specific* metrics were used,) instead only linking to the national page for ALL data. That's quite suspect.10:55
TuvixSome quick review of the ONS data suggests that article is cherry-picking "which" rows and months in the table, and blurring the line between <21 days and >=21 days after vacciation, and making a point not to be clear if when they're talking about all-cause mortality vs. COVID-19 mortality. I'd suggest readers consider it an excersize to look at the references carefully.11:05

TuvixIn fact, a quick review of several months in 2022 (paring with the claim cited by footnote [8]) shows this is fully nosense for all age ranges except perhaps the over-70's.11:16
TuvixPretty wild confidence intervals on the over 70 groupings too.11:18
TuvixThey also seem to ignore Note 9 in the ONS data referenced that discusses some of these concerns, and then use the high volumes of over-70 deaths to support their claim. It's quite possible the mixing of prioritizing the most-vulnerable-to-die is just showing that the people we're most worried about dying do in fact die more often.11:33
TuvixWhat a bad paper.11:33
