[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a "healthy vaccinee bias" which is a big factor behind covid vaccine effectiveness results. People who get the vaccine often have better access to health care, less blue collar jobs, etc. and so have better outcomes. While it seldom gets mentioned, the covid vaccinated also have lower mortality rates than the unvaccinated for non-covid diseases as well for this same reason. [/quote]
Yes. Also I think this low number will change dramatically as the vaccine becomes more available in an easy way. I’m talking about no lines, etc..[/quote]
You misunderstood the point. Covid vaccines are not reducing non-covid illnesses; it's a spurious correlation. It's that the people that get covid vaccines tend to have better access to health care/higher incomes and as a result, will generally do better healthwise than the covid unvaccinated irrespective of whether they get the covid vaccine or not.  Thus, while people cite figures for the covid vaccine's effectiveness, a big driver is the health backdrop/access of the vaccine recipients, independent of any impact of the vaccine itself.[/quote]
