Thank you for this analysis. I am so exhausted from trying to make sense of things, as a person not trained in science or any of this. Yet it feels as though I have to try, as so many of the people (scientists, doctors) who are meant to be objective and who are the so-called experts appear to have gone awol down a rabbit-hole of fear, denial and irrationality. It doesn't take an expert, though, to see that things aren't stacking up, and that there are massive forces of coercion - not guided by science or medicine - at play. Thank goodness that there are still some who are unbending and courageous enough to speak up, such as yourself and other shining lights out there. The Kulldorffs, Bhattacharyas, McCulloughs, Makarys, Kheriatys, amongst others. History will vindicate them. But History takes time - and those of us in the present are suffering. I only wish that the rest of the experts would stop hiding behind their walls of "psychological safety" and speak up, too. Loudly and soon. Because those of us who have already been through the valley of covid and come out the other side are being thrown to the wolves, with precious little to protect us. We are losing our jobs, what's left of our own psychological safety, our health, our autonomy, our agency. It is a time of great peril. We really need you, the torch-carriers of science and rationality and the true carers of the sick and holders of the Hippocratic Oath, to defend your turf from the corroding effects of power and money and governmental influence - and to speak the truth. To maintain your objectivity. To ask the right questions. To seek out the correct answers. And, at the end of the day, to speak up! Please, please don't flinch from this.
The KY study has another huge flaw. As a nurse working a Covid unit, we all know that people test positive for weeks, and occasionally months after having Covid. In this study Covid reinfection is not clearly defined as having both symptoms and a positive PCR test, but can be 1 or the other. Another early study showed rate of reinfection goes down substantially after 3 months… hmmm - could it be because people aren’t still testing positive 3 months post infection??
Yes, the KY study has many flaws -- and could be the subject of an article in and by itself. But to your point -- in this study, the previous infection was defined in March-December 2020, but reinfection was defined as May-June. This implicitly meant that they gave a 4 month buffer for reinfection. This means that they may have missed some true reinfections, but also, it gives "vaccination" an advantage because you are comparing more mature natural immunity to freshly vaccinated persons. Still, NI does pretty well!
Hello, I saw that Noorchashm had his Twitter and medium accounts deleted. Was he reposting this analysis? By the way great job thank you so much! I am concerned about the science, but the censorship thing is crazy, and very scary! Can you enlighten me on the situation at all?
Ann, I agree with you! Vinay Prasad is also one I learn so very much from. Klausner is also worth hearing.

Thank you for the kind words. Healthy debate, right or wrong, should be valued. Please spread the word-
