1/ UF Health sent out a news release this morning that set off my internal propaganda alarm.

A thread 👇

2/ “Unfortunately, our data show that even if people are willing to take their chances with COVID-19 because they are not concerned about the disease, they are now more likely to have a complication like a heart attack or stroke because of this. Vaccination is critical.”-Mainous

3/ Naturally, the conclusion is that vaccination is critical, and Mainous implies that everyone is more likely to have a stroke/heart attack after COVID - but does the study show that?

4/ Fortunately, el gato malo has taken the time to deconstruct this study, and surprise surprise, it's junk:

5/ cliff notes:

- this study from the university of florida is pure GIGO

- it’s a post facto study with massive risk variance in cohorts by age, diabetes, hypertension, and COPD prevalence

- the “adjustments” for this are just a model and are not disclosed

6/ - they clearly fail to account, in total, for even one of the risk factors

- they fail to align with their own control group

- this study is meaningless and should be ignored. it’s datacrime, not data.
