That was powerful! Actually, I believe more than 17 million people were affected by the vaccine. Deaths have NOT been reported accurately. While we were on our mission in Thailand (2021-2023),

All of the missionaries had the vaccine. Then boosters were offered and the missionaries received the boosters (we politely refused). Lots of missionaries and Senior couples got Covid. ALL of them had received the vaccine! So the vaccines did NOT stop Covid.

17 million people did not die from covid vaccine. That is incorrect and cannot be derived honestly from the data provided in the original study. This article makes it look like Politics is driving your world view not your faith or rational data analysis.

17 million quote was tracked down to Bret Weinstein, a political commentator and the Epoch times. Both places provided rationale of 17 million people based on a report from Denis Rancourt who supports anti-vaccine groups. In epistemology (how people come to know what they claim to know), we need to understand what may have influenced a study to properly evaluate it. The associated study of people who died "for any reason" during the Covid rollout and did not distinguish between individuals that had the vaccine or not. So, it was flawed to start. Our own data analysis roundly rejects this. If we, using the same data set, can reject the hypothesis presented, we must assume bias in the Denis Rancourt, who is financially and politically motivated, as well as Brett Weinstein. We must exam the Epoch times which has its own religious (Falun Gong) and economic motivations.

Again, if Weinstein has the evidence, where is his paper? Why didn't he publish? As a PhD, he can easily publish his papers on this for review. There are multiple peer reviewed outlets for him to follow up on. He doesn't because he doesn't have the data to support him. We can see this as we have the same datasets he quoted.

The founding claim being inaccurate, we are forced to derive the rest of the arguments are based on inaccurate these claims as well. The root cause is a political world view as opposed to faith or rational data analysis.

Normally, I let these comments pass, but my concern is that politics may drive your scientific and religious opinions.
