Well, even the guy himself said he got it wrong back in June, but I imagine he was under quite a bit of pressure back then, what with going against the grain and all...

How is it one careless cigarette can cause a forest fire, but it takes a whole box of matches to light a campfire?

I wouldn't doubt he might say that Mark. There would be no shortage of people here that would say the same for us and we know that's no true.
But hey, Finland got their death rate in the range of regular flu deaths. that's great for them.

Perhaps ... but apparently hospitals are way past capacity ... I don't think anyone is guessing that part.
In any case ... really what I'm trying to say, if you want to erase all doubt ... look at Finland and what they did ... they are the better model to use in an argument.

Perhaps, but i was only answering to the question of the Sweden comparison. The world's had 9 months to get their countries death rate to as low as possible. The results speak for themselves.

No I don't I have never looked into a vaccine study.
Just wanted to know how they got their 95 percent effective conclusion.
So if it was just at random it has room for error to lower the effectiveness to say 80 percent or less
Having a more of a controlled environment would show different numbers. Apparently covid is to harsh for a controlled test.
Being random and people being cautious more then the others. Or if a thousand people didn't come into contact with the virus to properly test the vaccine . It will keep the percentage up like it has .
Just saying we that we can't assume it's 95 percent effective as it was not a controlled study. Some experts have said that the 95 percent could go down to be less effective.
Or do 95 percent of them still have antibodies and that's what they are seeing or only 5 percent of them caught the virus yet thousands didn't come into contact with it.
Did they all were masks? Did only some ? Did other's stay home more than other's ?do some live in different environments or wash their hands more frequently or used sanitizer more than other's. Probably [emoji39]

I spent the summer on a ship in Brazil with a Swedish captain. He told me COVID wasn't a real issue at home. I imagine it's like the American election....it depends on who you talk to.
