Great article, Rebekah. Thankyou. One more reason, which IMO is absolutely critical to understanding how the whole debacle got such a head of steam: the time-shifting (or miscategorisation) of vaccination status. Failing to re-categorised a recently jabbed person as jabbed until 14 days afterwards creates a truly massive statistical misrepresentation when the jab rate is in the same ballpark (or higher) than the case/hospitalisation/death rate from/with the illness the jab is intended to mitigate.

This statistical malpractice is mathematically guaranteed to produce results that look positive for the jab, even if it has zero actual benefit.

And roll it out fast enough they did. And so the inevitable spike in harms to recently jabbed individuals (which were officially classified as "unvaccinated") spiked. Cue all the talking heads: "this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated!!!!!"

The statistical errors of delayed classification are well known, and it is incumbent on the people responsible for analytical procedures to be aware of this pitfall. Therefore, this is statistical fraud. It is fraud on a global scale.
