5) The antivaxx pple's strategy here is nitpicking details when they are off by 2 orders of magnitude. Do not engage. That's an old litigator's strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

@imleslahdin @GAMINGBLOWS @goldenpill1 And why did you feel compelled to post this crap on this feed and not some other more relevant detail? Why? — PolitiTweet.org

@CTWebbPhD Why are you asking this question? You mean that it did not hit me to look at comparative fatalities across age groups? Why are you asking this question with this tone? — PolitiTweet.org

@hutchike Nitwit, the hospitalization rate is per infection and pple get multiple infections. — PolitiTweet.org

@ShawnHetheringt Imbecile, the DEATH rate in US is 335 per 100k assuming entire pop got Covid. — PolitiTweet.org

3) Note: serious does not necessarily mean hospitalization. And, critically, includes people who got sick for other reasons. — PolitiTweet.org

@ParvizMalakouti Worse than stat illiterate. You're an idiot. — PolitiTweet.org

2) Now regardless of your computation of the risks for unvaxxed and Simpson's eff. [vaxxed are older, infection rate can be higher, etc.], it remains that we are talking 2 order of magnitude difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb

Statistical illiteracy. Info is that 20 per 100K have some "serious" side effect (not fatality) *after* vaccines (across age groups). Assuming due to vaxx, compare to ~2-5K per 100K unvaxxed hospitalized owing to Covid. [Sent to me by antivaxx #idiot] https://t.co/BGFZXgzZ6m — PolitiTweet.org

Below is current's Russia's role in trade. Mostly raw materials.
