      David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Nate Silver

      So, epidemiologically speaking, Nate has discovered that the sun rises in the east and that water is wet. Seriously, dude. This is a Vaccine Epi 101-level observation here. I mean, seriously? How ignorant/stupid does Nate think epidemiologists and clinical trialists are?https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1422896644283043841 …

      One statistical issue that's crossed my mind: In counties like the US that have been hit hard by COVID, a significant portion of the *unvaccinated* population will have some degree of immunity from a previous infection. That could make vaccines seem superficially less effective.

      And OMG. The quote-Tweets of Nate are loaded with conspiracy mongering about Nate's supposed #COVID19 "heresy" and praise for making what is, quite seriously, a beginner-level observation.

          Yeah. And of course this is going to get even more complicated as we get more people who have both natural and vaccine-induced immunity.

          This doesn't make sense. The immunity of the unvaccinated that got the disease can be easily separated from the immunity of the vaccinated. Why would it make the vaccine appear less effective that there are fewer cases?

          How? Most previously infected people never tested positive. Cum unconfirmed cases > Cum confirmed Cases.

          He’s always had a bad case of Dunning Kruger. He thought his experience with polling data would make him a good political pundit and then wrote this takehttps://fivethirtyeight.com/features/dear-media-stop-freaking-out-about-donald-trumps-polls/ …
