Danger! Danger! Or is it???

Population mixing between vaccinated & unvaccinated

So…. a new paper came out a couple of weeks ago on April 25th entitled, “Impact of population mixing between vaccinated and unvaccinated subpopulations on infectious disease dynamics: implications for SARS-CoV-2” . It is authored by David Fisman (served on advisory boards for Pfizer and AstraZeneca), Ashleigh Tuite (employed by the Public Health Agency of Canada) and Afia Amoako (a graduate student). The conclusion, which is based on modeling and not real world data, basically says that the mixing of unvaccinated with vaccinated creates a disproportionate risk to the vaccinated.

Danger Will Robinson! Danger! Danger!

You can read about this danger in Forbes, Salon, WebMD, Victoria News
and the Toronto Sun. Those articles however are just a distillation of the study with no analysis.

The study is based on modeling, and therefore the conclusions are only as reliable as the model they are built on and the data fed into the model.

Check out the articles and interviews below for in-depth analysis of the study and its myriad of weaknesses.

Really? Let’s look at some other points of view….

Dr Jessica Rose (Unacceptable Jessica Substack): Call for retraction of paper entitled: "Impact of population mixing between vaccinated and unvaccinated subpopulations on infectious disease dynamics: implications for SARS-CoV-2 transmission"

My take? The point of publishing a low level piece of writing like this is to create division. It is that simple. There is no scientific merit in this piece (I will demonstrate this) and the message is not science-based: the message is that the ‘unvaccinated’ need to be ‘vaccinated’.

Dr. Byram Bridle’s Substack (Covid Chronicles ) Fiction Disguised as Science to Promote Hatred

This paper by Fisman, et al. is only thinly veiled hate speech under the guise of science. Before I walk you through the numerous massive errors in this paper, let me first show you one example of the messaging regarding the impact and relevance of the paper.

Are the unvaccinated a threat to those who’ve been jabbed? A recent paper in the Canadian Medical Association Journal is creating a storm of controversy for making that claim amid criticisms of methodological flaws fueling a major debate. Dr. Byram Bridle and Dr. Denis Rancourt join Trish to ponder a paper some say goes too far.

Steve Kirsch’s Substack: Meet Professor David Fisman of Canada

Professor Fisman and his colleagues at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto are paid to promote the narrative. Their latest study makes the unvaccinated out as the villain and the vaccinated as the heroes. It was widely picked up by the mainstream press even though none of them understood the methodology. You don’t have to be an expert to read the reviews and realize that the paper is full of holes and should be retracted. If you’re looking for the top misinformation spreader in Canada, Fisman is going to rank highly at the top of most people’s lists.
