Folks, while ScoobyDoo is off in Brampton listening to Singh let's look at where this discussion started.
The original post referenced a two year old pre-print ("pre-print" means not reviewed or fact checked by other experts in the field) from the dawn of the distribution of covid vaccines.
I offered something more current (that is, after over 13 billion doses of the vaccine have been delivered): an article from September 2023.
The article studied 700,000 people whose cognitive abilities and vaccine preferences were known, and says "We find a strong positive association between cognitive ability and swift vaccination".
ScoobyDoo seems to be saying the article's findings don't count because the 700,000 people were from Sweden.
As though smart and not-so-smart people in Sweden are different from everyone else. Or maybe just us.
Maybe she'll clear that up for us.
Anybody with just the slightest stats knowledge knows this is complete bullshit.
Let's review some of ScoobyDoo's claims folks.
She claims that this is an indication of their lower cognitive ability, as though without “some college” or “bachelor’s” your cognitive ability is diminished.
From the same link:
She has yet to indicate why smarter people from Sweden getting vaccines earlier is some sort of special case, that is: not representative of smarter people from somewhere else.
See above. She's entitled to her opinion, of course, but unless she wants to provide some reasons she's just producing hot air.
Bunch of gibberish from someone that doesn’t understand that Swedish military recruits do not represent the population.
Notice, folks, how she cleverly avoids explaining why 700,000 individuals who are checked over almost 20 years would not be a representative sample?
