The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Do a simple Google search and you'll find extensive resources that have fact checked and analyzed Campbell's data and found them misleading.


Campbell has been at it for a long time, and is very good at marshalling the occasional evidence against vaccines and ignoring the mountain of evidence for vaccines. Among his many tricks is cherry-picking the countries that go counter to the general tendency showing vaccines to be safe and effective.

And one of the things he can do now is take just recent data (2023, for instance), where the benefits of vaccines seem to have largely disappeared. But you would expect this, right? The vaccinated
80 year-old who didn’t die from covid in 2021, and who thus contributed to the evidence showing less deaths in vaccinated people, is not going to live forever just because of the vaccine. Some time over the next 5-10-15 years, she will die and contribute to an EXCESS of deaths in vaccinated period, unless you include the year when the vaccine saved a lot of lives, mostly 2021.

In other words, if half the USA was vaccinated in 2021 and there were 100,000 excess deaths in the unvaccinated, you would expect maybe 10,000 excess deaths in the vaccinated every year for 10 years or so. Everyone will die eventually, but vaccines POSTPONED a lot of deaths until people died of other causes.
