Original Note:
The CN citing vaccination rates is making a common logical fallacy known as the ‘base rate fallacy’. The efficacy of an intervention cannot be inferred by the rates of the intervention alone. In other words the data does not mean what they think it means. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths-by-vaccination https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/base-rate-fallacy https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803095449924;jsessionid=67132387925EC56D46D4884C69F8A155
