There was a ton of data available on that Nevada site. He could have done an earnest analysis if he wanted to, but didn't. I spent 10 min trying to follow his analysis and then gave up.
left leaning and right leaning outlets are equally guilty in creative statistics to suit their agenda. Everything I have seen that attempts to be reasonably honest with their analysis and sample selection paints a pretty rosey pic for vaccine effectiveness for preventing serious illness.

That is the data set that I was thinking of. His analysis may be flawed, or it may not be detailed enough, but it pretty well puts the lie to the idea that 90% of these new hospitalizations and deaths are among the unvaccinated. I don’t think he could ever **** it up that bad.
And I know it’s a small part of the world and not representative of everything but it’s also probably a data set that lends itself to analysis, unlike most out there. One of the big crimes of this whole ordeal is that our data that has been accumulated is going to be nearly worthless for later analysis.
