People vaccinated against Covid less likely to die from any cause, study finds

You perform an observational study, not adjusted for &quot;baseline health status, underlying conditions, health care utilization, and socioeconomic status&quot;. You get a <i>3.2x</i> difference in mortality. Still, you decide to publish it. Great job!

“Part of this is probably because people who get vaccinated tend to be healthier than people who don&#x27;t, the researchers noted.”

Or people who chose to get vaccinated are generally more cautious and think more about their health and may be even more careful drivers etc., therefore they would die less often from traffic accidents compared to irresponsible drunk drivers who didn&#x27;t bother to get vaccine.<p>It is so hard to distinguish cause from effect in these studies.

This elucidates one potentially strong source of bias in vaccination studies. The first to line up for voluntary vaccination are likely healthier and higher in socioeconomic status.

This is beyond stupid.
