Crazy crazy crazy

Wow, as a newbie to this forum I'm gaining some insight from this discussion.  The result, for me at least, allows a peek into who's audiophile opinion may be most valid across other subjects.
It kind of breaks down into two distinct groups, one seems to values science while the other is content with listening to their own inner opinions.
All worth a grain of salt though.

Increases in COVID-19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination across 68 countries and 2947 counties in the United States

Crazy is right! 

This publication appears to be being used to relate a narrative that vaccines are less important than hygiene and so on.  The information lacks important context in its presentation, i.e. data indicating like comparisons of vaccinated countries and counties in comparison to those vaccinated.  An important omission when coming to conclusions about vaccine effectiveness, to say the least.
Additionally, it fails to acknowledge (in the US at least) there are states and counties who do not fully report data regularly or accurately.  I live in one such county. 

All-in-all, what is presented as a white paper is riddled with flaws that even a lay person, such as myself, would find suspect.
