Comment on Why I’m for Covid vaccines, but against vaccine mandatesparent

Comments

Does your 10% include false positive tests from people who recovered? I didn't quite realize this but PCR tests often test positive (repeated) for weeks post-infection.

Also where are you that's 99% vaccinated?

Also where are you that's 99% vaccinated?

Someplace where children are forbidden, I guess.

It looks like, statistically, each person in Gibraltar has been vaccinated 3 times. So either they are vaxxing children (couldn't find any articles about that), or not including them because they're not eligble (which means saying "99% vaccinated is not correct unless there the population of Gibraltar is 1% or lower).

It looks like, statistically, the number of people crossing into Gibraltar at the border per day is 50% the resident population of Gibraltar.

Hahahah, I was going to say something abiout "covid vaccine tourism".

The combination of comments raises enough doubt about the claims of high vax rates not protecting people that we can simply ignore it.

Folks: please stop claiming your data proves something if the observation is better explained by biased samples. In this case, we're talking about a tiny nation that has significant through-traffic, so it's entirely inapplicable to more or less any large nation.
