          Their reasoning is terrible. This is going to kill people, at the margin. Hopefully not too many.

          I find it infuriating when they say “but all the facts are correct” when the precise thing you’re arguing with is how they use the facts in ways that distort the story and mislead the public.

          My 95-year old grandmother contracted COVID two weeks after getting her vaccine and was only mildly ill for a day or two, despite the fact she’s in the highest-risk cohort there is. THAT should be the headline.

          Dude should just own it instead of trying to justify it. "Yeah, you're right, we ran the headline to get clicks. We have a business to run here and that's first and foremost." Way more integrity in that than spinning it the way he did.

          Isn't .03% a high number of people getting it post-vax? What is the % of people who get it in general vax or not?That is what the number sholud be compared 2, not just those vaccinated as they may not have gotten covid anyway. Not against vax- just trying 2 figure out the math.

          The editor’s “defence” is disingenuous nonsense dressed up as public service. It’s been a hallmark of the pandemic from the start. People need educating on how the media works. Well done for challenging.
