Yes, luckily we have a completely controlled economy with no COVID. They only used to most ineffective (thus safe) vaccine!

It's called China. Also the chairman has declared that there have been no deaths this year. (except you, if you contradict him)




> They only used to most ineffective (thus safe) vaccine!

There are so many things wrong with this sentence:

- placebo is more ineffective, so to say the most ineffective has been used is an absurd statement

- ineffectiveness doesn't imply safety, cyanide is likely ineffective, yet not safe

- they didn't use one vaccine

etc.


You are correct! I was responding to the comedic parent.

However, both the Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccines are very equivalent inactivated virus vaccines with comparable (low) effectiveness against any of the proliferating post Delta vaccines, and vaccination rates in the elderly are quite low.

Which makes my point that there really isn't a good controlled environment where all of this data is easily collected. Even the developing world has received significant vaccination at this point, while politics have made gathering and interpreting the causes of excess deaths challenging EVERYWHERE. Sweden? UK? US? France? Singapore? German? Russia? China? India? Africa?
