Hi everyone, The 3-hour vaccine death debate between Denis and Tracy has now been released! Anyone can access it now here in the Substack app/website or in the Spotify/Apple links below. I hope it helps shape your perspective on this contentious topic. Takeaways: * Tracy criticizes Denis' paper on the number of deaths caused by COVID vaccines, arguing that the estimate of 17 million deaths is implausible. * Denis defends his paper, explaining the methodology and selection of countries in the study. * The debate becomes heated as they discuss the accusation of cherry-picking countries. * Technical difficulties interrupt the discussion briefly. There are inconsistencies in estimates of excess mortality and the causal link between COVID-19 vaccines and deaths. * Methodology plays a crucial role in determining the accuracy of these estimates. * Accurate information and fact-finding are essential in understanding the impact of COVID-19 vaccines on mortality. * Further discussion and analysis are needed to address the discrepancies between different studies and estimates. There is a temporal association between booster rollouts and excess mortality. * The causes of excess mortality are complex and can vary between countries and age groups. * The peak in mortality after the pandemic announcement is a significant phenomenon that requires further investigation. * Analyzing mortality data in countries without age stratification requires additional considerations. * The consistent association of excess mortality with booster rollouts suggests a potential link. * Quantifying excess mortality and the vaccine dose fatality rate can provide insights into the risk of death. The correlation between vaccine rollout and excess mortality is a topic of debate, with different interpretations and perspectives. * Communication plays a crucial role in conveying scientific findings, and the choice of words and statements can impact public perception. * Traditional methods may not always capture vaccine mortality, and there is a need for more comprehensive data and analysis. * The case of Sweden's excess mortality highlights the complexities of interpreting data and the importance of considering different factors. * Improving data collection and reporting is essential for a better understanding of the impact of vaccines and other interventions. Clear communication and agreement on recording and distribution processes are important in collaborative conversations.
