Some conversations today have gotten me looking deeper into the "why" to complement the "what" that I see in the data. I will admit there will be big gaps in my understanding and interpretation of the literature but this from @GVDBossche resonates strongly when looking to explain
why COVID cases and deaths ubiquitously rise when mass vaccinations commence (but only when there is some virus already circulating). What @GVDBossche hypothesises as an expert scientist is exactly what we observe in the empirical data, i.e. bigger and more frequent unseasonal
waves as a result of mass vaccination in the middle of virus season. I maintain that the combination of empirical data and good science will eventually be accepted without dispute, though probably not for another couple of years. Many more lives will be lost unnecessarily.
Indeed, the worst is yet to come for the world-leading vaccinating countries.
My gut has told me to naturally steer clear of society this year (I think I might even have tweeted that for the first time I am concerned about COVID). But, not COVID-19, vax-COVID. Seriously, the vaxxed have nothing to fear from me, I won't be going anywhere near them.
