[__ Science __ ] MUST WATCH: Global COVID Summit - Declaration IV - Restore Scientific Integrity

[Barbarian]

As has been stated many times, correlation does not equal causation. It could very well be, and would be more likely, that COVID is a cause rather than, or even in addition to, the vaccines. To just default to the vaccines is unscientific.

The fact that the death rate for unvaccinated people is much higher than for vaccinated people makes it pretty clear that the vaccines work. And of course, the persistent neurological problems so often seen in those who had mild cases of the infection makes it even more important. Science is about data.

And as you suggested, the data show a very great benefit to being vaccinated.
