You’d want to get rid of confounding variables like age to compare apples to apples.
For instance you’d expect older folks to have gotten at least one shot compared to younger. But you’ll also expect them to more of these diseases being older. So you have to normalize for age groups to compare vaxxed vs unvaxxed for these diseases.
Exactly! I believe the authors of this study knew it was skewed because 50.8% of the unvaccinated were in the 18-39 age group (from same table in report). Younger drivers have higher insurance premiums because they are more likely to have accidents. This didn't stop the authors so it's not stopping me! Whats good for the goose...
Did they compare by age groups?

From what I recall they had data for accident study from earlier in roll out of vax. So yeah data is garbage because older we’re getting vax first
This. And yet these comparisons get brought up again and again.
