🚨 NEW: One of the largest COVID-19 vaccine studies ever (28 MILLION people in France) just dropped.

Results?
• 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19
• 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality
• No increase in 4-year mortality
• Vaccinated people had lower risk of death from any cause.
In short: mRNA vaccines weren’t just safe — they were protective across the board. 🔥📉 https://shorturl.at/GcZeK

@cbarbermd hey, thanks for drawing attention to this. :D

Small nitpick: would you mind editing the link to the full link of the publication? Shortened URLs obscure the target and include another party that'll likely track people. For this reason, at least for mastodon, URLs always cost you a flat 25 characters off the maximum post length by default, regardless of their length ^^

The full link without tracking parameters:

@cbarbermd how on earth are the vaccines for Covid reducing all-cause mortality?

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@Lunaphied @cbarbermd I'm sure it is a combination of 1) covid infections elevate your risk of dying from other things, 2) it is very likely the case that people who go out of their way to get vaccinated are also more likely to take their own health and safety seriously in general, and 3) it is also very likely that people who avoid vaccines for ideological reasons are also more likely to engage in other dangerous "alternative medicine" practices like "faith healing" and drinking "raw water"
