@Eris You dont. But you do need to understand a topic if you expect to state facts about said topic.
@Eris Thanks for proving my point, that people too stupid to pass the above test will also be too stupid to assert actual facts correctly.
@Eris I've addressed this topic in detail dozens of times on my time line. Every time the anti-vax morons just spew nonsense and ignore or arent smart enough to comprehend the reality. So yes at this point I stopped putting int he effort because its a waste of my time.
I didnt invite further discussion. Quite the opposite. The OP shows the basic level of knowledge a person needs to have before even approaching the subject, of which most anti-vaxers dont have. So it explicitly suggests people unable to pass the test DONT discuss it, the opposite of inviting it.
In that case you have a person defering to an expert. They dont understand the surgery or its technicals in any sense, they simply trust the risk assesment and details given to them by a professional. No different than with vaccines really, a person typically wont understand the subject, but they can defer to their doctors risk assesment and side effects and other details to make an informed decision despite not understanding the subject.
There are plenty of good reasons not to want to get vaccinated or to think it isnt safe enough or well tested yet. Thats not the issue. The issue is the morons who try to say its actually dangerous or killing people and spreading misinformation they clearly dont understand (like the usual lie about thousands of recorded deaths)
They never assumed all respirtory illness was covid. There are preliminary number reports (which is what your thinking of), then the final numbers that come in about 3 months later that actually only include cases of covid that are reasonably confirmed.
As for VARES. you only need to look at the VARES FAQ to understand that the law states any cases of hospitalization that happen within 14 days of being vaccinated, even those that are confirmed to not be related to COVID, must by law be reported to VARES. It has been stated many times over and right there on the FAQ that the VARES deaths are **not** a listing of people who died from vaccination. it is a listing of people who died within 14 days of being given a shot for any reason.
We have different types of data for different purposes. Yes there are some lists which only "reasonably confirm" COVID. Generally we wouldnt use that for statistical analysis. Then you have other studies and list that explicitly randomly sample and test for the presence of the genome. These are the data sets we tend to use to draw mot conclusions off of.

How is it misinformation if it's true?
>(like the usual lie about thousands of recorded deaths)
How is it a lie if it's true?
