"The largest study to date" is too often used to describe studies that do not give any more definitive answers than previous studies.
Bigger is not better if methods are just as poor and not fit for purpose, and the data full of measurement error and selection bias.

We hear “most” people who get COVID are unvaccinated or "99% of cases are in the unvaccinated etc but could never find “real” numbers. I averaged the data (yes I know not ideal) in this NYT article and came up with ballpark numbers - useful? thoughts? nytimes.com/interactive/2021…

Thanks for mentioning me @vp, so here are the facts: 14,000 died from H1N1; we are headed to 400,000 dead in less than a year from COVID. Happy to compare records any time!

Any coronavirus vaccine made available to the public must go through and pass rigorous Phase 3 clinical trials. They must be proven safe and effective in large numbers of patients and must not be used as political tools under any circumstances. That would be a huge moral outrage.
