Anecdotes unsupported by research are not scientific evidence.

The flagged comments here have just as much a right to speculate on the cause as the BBC article does to definitively rule it out.

We call that journalism

Well, in that case, the BBC article is "anecdote unsupported by research".

"Finally, figures up to June 2022 looking at deaths from all causes show unvaccinated people were more likely to die than vaccinated people.

While this data on its own can't tell us it's the vaccine protecting people from dying - there are too many complicating factors - if vaccines were driving excess deaths we would expect this to be the other way around."

It's simple math but anti vaxxers are consummate innumerates.

I've been double vaxxed and boosted, so I'm not an anti-vaxxer. I don't know for sure if the vaccine is causing more heart-related deaths. I do however believe the government (any government) would lie to get people to take a vaccine if they thought the number of heart deaths due to vaccine would be lower than the eventual number of COVID deaths without a vaccine.

What specifically in that section do you take issue with? Do you think excess deaths would be lower without vaccines?

Agreed. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/covid-boosters-i...

If you mean Aseem Malhotra, he is an idiot and nobody in the entire region of London that he trained in thinks he has an IQ above 100. Pre-COVID he was unemployably bad as a doctor, and has never had a formal job in the NHS since he completed his training. He has latched on to vaccines hoping he can make a quick buck that way.

What is your opinion on Japanese professor Dr Masanori Fukushima [0]? He seems to think the vaccines are dangerous as well and here in this video he talks directly to the Japanese Ministry of Health (from my understanding).
