The report fails to note correlation v causation. In fact I believe that the press is doing a TERRIBLE job helping people understand what correlation v causation is and what it means. They just have been tossing raw data out for public consumption in an attempt to generate headlines. I also believe that the vast majority of reports in the media about Covid data/trends (particularly concerning vaccine safety) has failed to help people to understand what the data/trends actually means and that because of this the media is doing more harm than good.
-->The whole 'pause' re. J&J vaccine probably happened because of poor reporting & it caused a huge increase in vaccine hesitancy & waste of a LOT of vaccine doses.
All bad reporting does is legitimize the disinformation campaigns in the minds of more people.
