Daily boosters and daily deaths: Maybe it's just a coincidence
Andreas Oehler very nicely discussed my updated post on The Devil’s Two Weeks is his post today. Please read it if you haven’t already.
Andreas believes that the deaths/severe cases in green below weren’t double-jabbers but actually triple-jabbers infected within two weeks of their booster and mis-classified to make the third shot look better and the second shot look worse.
To test his theory, I was going to plot daily booster doses against daily reported Covid deaths to see if there was any correlation. But luckily for lazy old me, someone already did it (hit-tip https://twitter.com/MiyuMotohashi). And then someone else added the English translations (hat-tip https://twitter.com/mconceptionz)
Well, it certainly looks like Andreas has a point. But then again, as the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare likes to say, “Due to insufficient information, the causal relationship with the vaccines has not been clarified.” And as far as they’re concerned, it probably never will be.
