I've been interested in reading various scientific papers for 15 years now on various topics that interest me, and so I was fairly well versed in detecting if a paper had poor methodology and what "p-hacking" looks like. For me it was obvious as fuck that the data wasn't supportive of the vaccine, but trying to explain this to my family was futile as I wasn't an accredited scientist it was impossible in spite of them always calling me smart and intelligent my entire life.

When 2x of the vaccine arm died vs the unvaccinated- and the manufacturers responded by : changing the endpoint to “infection- as decided by our private lab”
The biggest con of the whole pandemic happened at the very beginning: the immediate shift from reporting Infection Fatality Rate to Case Fatality Rate. For most of recorded epidemic history, health authorities, governments, and media reported the IFR, which is based on the projected number of total infections. Because they correctly understood that the vast majority of cases in any covid-level epidemic go unreported.
For covid, everyone spontaneously switched to CFR - based on official cases - which generates a much higher and highly inaccurate fatality rate. Because official cases are also the most severe. Usually, the difference in fatality rates is 10x. So the “fatality rate” for covid went from 00.2% to 2%. Of course people got scared. 1 in 50 is a legitimately concerning number when half the people you know are testing positive (via rigged PCR tests).

That’s realtime p-hacking and a bribed regulator.
That's what I kept standing on, the actual data didn't support them at all. Higher adverse outcomes for people that got it vs those that didn't.
