Nice to see this paper being spammed for ~5 pages (maybe 20 posts?)
We've discussed it a lot. It doesn't support your statement: "vaccinating doesn't reduce covid spread."
We know that vaccination reduces the risk of infection, severe disease, and death, even in the Delta era (see: CDC data, UK data, Israel data, etc.) Reported cases, those listed in the Our World in Data database used for the paper, are not simply a function of actual cases, testing, reporting, surveillance all combine to give the "report case" statistic.
Lastly, Delta was and still is, extraordinarily infectious, I would be interested in seeing the authors re-do their analysis with mid-October data now that many countries are off their peak-Delta waves.
I really don't want this thread to descend into spamming links, clips, articles, etc. without discussion. It's easy to find someone saying something out there that fits your priors, it's much harder and more informative to discuss and analysis these bits of data!
