I think the number one factor you are missing is the healthy-user bias. When vaccines were in short supply, those not given vaccines were usually:

A. Terminally ill and not expected to survive long enough that covid was a worry.

B. The side effects with existing heart conditions and a litany of medications were considered too great to give doses to.

So your 'unvaccinated' group might already have stage-4 cancer, and had several heart attacks, with liver and kidney failure at 80+ for example. Yes, they didn't waste/give a limited availability covid vaccine to such a person....and covid may have killed such a person, due to the comorbidities weakening the system so much and less lack of vaccination.

Actually, I didn’t miss that, that would be an excellent example of a confounding factor, which is mentioned in my article. Steve Kirsch mentioned a few days ago that John Ioannidis didn’t like the Czech database for some reason, and this is likely why. Good comment!

So what about all the unreported deaths from the vaccinated group that were not included in your data? There were plenty of them that were never reported to our vaers system, which usually only picks up 1% of deaths and side effects. This was also by design. There were also the people that got the vaccines that passed away right after their shot or within 2 weeks that weren’t included. We may never know.

No way to know, that’s not in the database. I think we’re finding out why John Ioannidis didn’t want to use it.
