A new and highly questionable study out of England claims that the COVID-19 vaccine poses less harm than the virus itself by comparing vascular and inflammatory disease rates after infection versus vaccination. Jefferey exposes the study’s deeply flawed design and the many ways its authors shaped the data and methodology to ensure the outcome they wanted.

Correction: The graph used at :49 shows cardiovascular and inflammatory outcomes after 6 months of COVID-19 diagnosis or vaccination rather than the first 6 months of the pandemic as previously reported. Estimates were by time since a first COVID-19 diagnosis during Jan 1, 2020–March 31, 2022 and by time since a first COVID-19 vaccination during Aug 6, 2021– Dec 31, 2022. Selecting those time periods would have a tendency to bias the study in favor of the vaccine cohort. The authors performed a calendar adjustment, attempting to allow for that but the cohort periods have multiple differences that cannot be averaged out.
