\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detected fraudulence aside, there is no stronger criticism of a study than refuting the key result by using the study data. That opportunity does not arise often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I present a striking example, pertaining to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35134810\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a study from Israel<\/a>. Trying to be methodical, my article is somewhat on the long side, but the implications at the end are radical and broad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goldin\u00a0<em>et al.<\/em>\u00a0estimated the effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine on several Covid-related outcomes, including death, in residents of long-term care facilities in Israel (mean age of 83 years). The large cohort (over 43,000) was heavily skewed towards vaccinated residents (90%). Only about 4,000 residents were not vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using a statistical method called survival analysis, the authors reported two age-adjusted values of vaccine effectiveness (VE) against Covid-related death:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Skipping 10 days after the first dose, VE was 72%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skipping about seven days after the second dose, VE was 85%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goldin<em>\u00a0et al.\u00a0<\/em>also analysed all-cause death as an endpoint, which many researchers have omitted. Most important, two of their figures (below) show the cumulative number of Covid deaths and all deaths at several time points \u2014 from which we can compute the cumulative number of\u00a0<em>non-Covid<\/em>\u00a0deaths. The latter data have been consistently hidden in studies of vaccine effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, the studies provide mortality data, not just with the seven- or 10- day gaps, but since an \u2018index date\u2019 \u2013 the date on which the first dose was injected. We can thus analyse the data the way they should have been analysed \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/brownstone.org\/articles\/the-censorship-of-covid-science-three-examples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">no skipping<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"489\" data-attachment-id=\"266219\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=266219\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-12-1024x692-1.png?fit=1024%2C692&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,692\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"0image-12-1024&amp;#215;692-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-12-1024x692-1.png?fit=723%2C489&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-12-1024x692-1.png?resize=723%2C489&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-266219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-12-1024x692-1.png?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-12-1024x692-1.png?resize=300%2C203&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-12-1024x692-1.png?resize=768%2C519&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Fig. 2 COVID-19-related death.

Therefore, the number of Covid deaths at the time points for all-cause death (30 days, 60 days, etc.) can be reasonably estimated by interpolation (examining the height of the line at 30 days etc.) Then, subtracting the number of Covid deaths from all-cause deaths reveals a crucial piece of data: the number of non-Covid deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My busy tables below show the cumulative number of deaths (Covid, non-Covid) in vaccinated residents and unvaccinated residents by the end of the follow-up (five months) and by three interim time points (after one, two and three months). Using simple analysis, formally called \u2018cumulative incidence\u2019, I computed the risk of the two types of death in vaccinated (blue) and unvaccinated (red) residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"529\" data-attachment-id=\"266223\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=266223\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-14.jpeg?fit=994%2C727&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"994,727\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"0image-14\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-14.jpeg?fit=723%2C529&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-14.jpeg?resize=723%2C529&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-266223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-14.jpeg?w=994&amp;ssl=1 994w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-14.jpeg?resize=300%2C219&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-14.jpeg?resize=768%2C562&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The top table shows that the risk of Covid death was consistently higher in unvaccinated than in vaccinated \u2013 a positive \u2018vaccine effect\u2019 \u2013 but the surprising result is revealed in the bottom table: that was also the case for non-Covid death! The mortality rate from non-Covid causes in 4,114 unvaccinated residents of nursing homes in Israel was three to seven times the mortality rate in their vaccinated counterparts, depending on the follow-up time. Or vice versa \u2014 the mortality rate from non-Covid causes was substantially\u00a0<em>lower<\/em>\u00a0in nursing home residents who were vaccinated against Covid. That astonishing result is seen early on, within one month of the first dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does the Pfizer vaccine protect against death from non-Covid causes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have yet to hear someone making the claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If not, what is the explanation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is simple and not astonishing at all. The decision of whom\u00a0<em>not<\/em>\u00a0to vaccinate was not random. It must have been based on reasonable medical considerations, particularly life expectancy. For instance, what is the merit of vaccinating a 90-year-old who suffers from advanced dementia and metastatic cancer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those 4,114 unvaccinated residents were sicker to begin with. Their life expectancy was shorter, regardless of possible SARS-CoV-2 infection, and that\u2019s why their non-Covid mortality was several fold higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stated differently, belonging to the unvaccinated group was a general marker of poorer health. Or vice versa \u2014 belonging to the vaccinated group was a marker of better health. That\u2019s on average, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The phenomenon we observe here is called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/brownstone.org\/articles\/bias-creates-illusion-of-effective-covid-vaccine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the \u2018healthy vaccinee\u2019 bias<\/a>, and it is well documented in the research literature,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16368725\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dating back to flu vaccines<\/a>. The bias is very strong in frail elderly residents of nursing homes, but it is seen\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/prof_shahar\/status\/1452038614238449666\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in all age groups<\/a>\u00a0of the general population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The implication of the \u2018healthy vaccinee\u2019 phenomenon \u2014 when estimating vaccine effectiveness \u2014 is called confounding bias. A na\u00efve comparison of Covid mortality in vaccinated people and unvaccinated people, even if age-adjusted, is grossly misleading because the latter have higher risk of death\u00a0<em>to begin with<\/em>. At least part of their higher\u00a0<em>Covid\u00a0<\/em>mortality, if not all, has nothing to do with not being vaccinated. They are simply sicker people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even Goldin\u00a0<em>et al.\u00a0<\/em>are aware of the bias, to which they devote one sentence at the very end of the article: \u201cThe unvaccinated group might have suffered from more comorbidities, leading them to be more susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and death, thus making the vaccine\u2019s effectiveness seem higher than it actually is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some researchers think that the bias operates in the opposite direction (called confounding-by-indication bias), whereby the unhealthy person is more likely to be vaccinated because he or she is at risk. Regardless, the net effect of the healthy vaccinee bias and confounding-by-indication bias, if the latter exists, is shown in the bottom table (above): those who were vaccinated had substantially lower non-Covid mortality. They must have been healthier, on average, not the other way around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The table below shows the risk ratio and VE against Covid death, as computed from the data in the top table above. VE is around 80% when calculated at various time points, and my simplified computation for the entire follow-up (82%) is similar to the main result of Goldin\u00a0<em>et al.<\/em>\u00a0(85%).

The method is best explained by a simple example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose the\u00a0<em>apparent\u00a0<\/em>risk of Covid death is twice as high in unvaccinated than in vaccinated, which means a biased risk ratio of 0.5 in favor of the vaccinated (i.e., the vaccinated are half as likely to die as the unvaccinated), and thus a biased VE of 50%. But suppose we find out that the risk of death from non-Covid causes\u00a0<em>is<\/em>\u00a0<em>also<\/em>\u00a0<em>twice as high<\/em>\u00a0in unvaccinated. What does that imply?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vaccination has made no difference. It had no effect on Covid death. A two-fold risk of Covid death is the expected, \u2018baseline\u2019 risk of death in unvaccinated because they are generally sicker. Vaccinated or not, they would have had a two-fold risk of death from Covid than their vaccinated counterparts \u2014 just like their two-fold risk of death from non-Covid causes. The biased risk ratio of 0.5 (VE of 50%) should be corrected to 1 (VE of 0%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get a risk ratio of 1, from a biased risk ratio of 0.5, we need to multiply 0.5 by 2; the number 2 here may be called the bias factor. The bias factor captures the underlying higher risk of death in those who were not vaccinated; in the example, the unvaccinated were twice as likely to die of non-Covid causes, so the bias factor is 2. It is estimated by the calculating the risk ratio of non-Covid mortality, comparing the unvaccinated to their vaccinated counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my simple example, the correction method completely nullified the presumed effect of a vaccine, the bias factor of 2 cancelling out entirely the biased VE estimate of 0.5. As we\u2019ll see next, the outcome could be anything from attenuated VE to negative VE, where a supposedly beneficial vaccine is actually harmful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The table below shows the bias factor in the study of Goldin\u00a0<em>et al.<\/em>\u00a0by follow-up time, along with the corrected risk ratio and the corrected VE. For example, over the entire follow-up, unvaccinated residents of nursing homes in Israel were 3.5 times more likely to die from non-Covid causes than vaccinated residents \u2013 a bias factor of 3.5. Multiplying the biased risk ratio of 0.18 (the risk ratio is 1 minus the VE, in this case 82%) by 3.5 changed the risk ratio to 0.63 and thus reduced VE from 82% to 37% (i.e., 1 minus 0.63, as a percentage).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost all Covid deaths have accumulated by the third month (888 out of 899). Indeed, the biased VE estimate was essentially the same (81% vs 82%). Since the bias factor was higher at 4.1 (because non-Covid deaths in the unvaccinated were higher earlier on in the follow-up), the corrected VE is now 22% (multiply the 0.19 biased risk ratio by 4.1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether VE was 22% or 37% \u2014 that\u2019s a mediocre vaccine. And worse results are forthcoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"417\" data-attachment-id=\"266233\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=266233\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-16.jpeg?fit=1113%2C641&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1113,641\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"0image-16\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-16.jpeg?fit=723%2C417&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-16.jpeg?resize=723%2C417&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-266233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-16.jpeg?resize=1024%2C590&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-16.jpeg?resize=300%2C173&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-16.jpeg?resize=768%2C442&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/0image-16.jpeg?w=1113&amp;ssl=1 1113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biased estimates of VE increased slightly over time (from 78% to 82%). The bias factor, however, decreased from 7.3 in the first month of follow-up to 3.5 over the entire follow-up, which is not too difficult to explain. Given the shorter life expectancy of the unvaccinated cohort, the most vulnerable members of that cohort died earlier. The remaining people gradually made up a somewhat \u2018healthier\u2019 surviving cohort, thereby narrowing the non-Covid mortality gap between unvaccinated and vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end of the first month the bias factor was 7.3 and by the end of the second month it was 5.2, whereas the biased risk ratio was similar in each month. This works out as a harmful effect of the Pfizer vaccine in the first month (VE of minus-60%), and overall null effect by the end of the second month (1% VE). That\u2019s negative and negligible VE, respectively, against\u00a0<em>Covid\u00a0<\/em>death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When, as in this case, the inference strongly depends on the amount of data accumulated \u2014 no effectiveness by the second month versus 22% and then 37% effectiveness with longer follow-up \u2014 researchers have a rule of thumb: the inference is stronger where we have\u00a0<em>most\u00a0<\/em>of the data, not after adding a few more observations. About 95% of all Covid deaths have occurred in the first two months (first row in the table above). This suggests the zero VE estimate may be the truest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The correction method is not perfect, and the result depends on the value of the bias factor (an estimate by itself). Nonetheless, an increased risk of Covid death during an early post-vaccination hazard period is compatible with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dailysceptic.org\/2023\/06\/22\/if-you-thought-covid-vaccines-were-effective-against-serious-disease-and-death-think-again-says-public-health-expert\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">other data<\/a>. Indeed, news outlets in Israel reported outbreaks of Covid infection in nursing homes shortly after the initiation of the vaccination campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is a translated excerpt from a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ynet.co.il\/news\/article\/Bk2ZYGCRv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">news report<\/a>, dated January 14th 2021, about three weeks into the campaign:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once again, a failure in nursing homes: at the same time as the second dose of COVID-19 vaccines is being distributed, the pandemic is hitting hard in the institutions where the elderly live. In the past two weeks, outbreaks have been recorded in no fewer than 160 geriatric institutions, and 1,098 new confirmed cases have been detected among residents of institutions licensed by the Ministry of Health alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In parallel to the surge in the number of patients in nursing homes and assisted living centres, in the past two weeks \u2018Senior Shield\u2019 [a task force for Covid management in nursing homes] stopped publishing the daily report on Covid morbidity data in geriatric institutions on the Ministry of Health website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why did they stop reporting? Have they also seen a surge in Covid death of vaccinated residents of nursing homes during the first month of the campaign?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether the Pfizer vaccine had time-dependent negative effectiveness, no effectiveness or mediocre effectiveness, the excellent effectiveness against Covid death of 85%, as reported by Goldin\u00a0<em>et al.<\/em>, was false. Assuming this conclusion is not challenged, what are the implications?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some readers might think that refutation of one study does not mean a lot. Goldin and colleagues are wrong, but there are other studies that support the narrative of a \u2018highly effective vaccine\u2019 in the vulnerable population \u2013 and we did not show that the results from those studies were also false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s not how deductive inference works. If VE against Covid death is shown to be far from \u2018highly effective\u2019 in one study of the frail elderly, we\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/shahar-26393.medium.com\/food-for-thought-karl-popper-and-studies-of-covid-vaccines-bc32995fc600\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">must deduce<\/a>\u00a0that all other studies that reported similar or better VE are false as well \u2014 likewise distorted by the healthy vaccinee bias. Otherwise, we have to make an implausible assumption: that despite the severe bias we have uncovered in Goldin\u00a0<em>et al.<\/em>, the play of chance nonetheless miraculously generated for the authors the true VE that matches other, non-biased studies. Far more likely is that those other studies, in producing a high VE, are similarly confounded by the healthy vaccinee bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What should happen next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, the paper by Goldin\u00a0<em>et al.\u00a0<\/em>should be retracted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, vaccination of the frail elderly with updated Covid vaccines should be halted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Third, public health agencies should initiate a Request for Applications (RFA) for placebo-controlled randomised trials of Covid vaccines in nursing homes \u2014 with Covid and all-cause mortality as endpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such trials are scientifically justified because residents of nursing homes, the most vulnerable population, were excluded from the original trials (in which death was not an endpoint). Moreover, randomised trials in this unique population become ethically obligatory when corrected VE against Covid death from observational data ranges from mediocre to negative and there are known\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dailysceptic.org\/2023\/04\/04\/unacceptable-calculating-the-covid-vaccine-fatality-rate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vaccine-related fatalities<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Dr. Eyal Shahar is Professor Emeritus of Public Health at the University of Arizona.
