Btw given the known age confounding between the different vaccine brands, it was not clear how much of the difference in chronic illness proportion was due to the age difference or whether certain brands were given more or less to those with chronic conditions than others even within the same age groups
This analysis computed the age adjusted chronic illness proportion and even after age adjustment the prevalence of chronic conditions was 26% less than expected for Pfizer and 55% more than expected for Moderna, showing the chronic illness confounding was still major after accounting for age differences.
Incidentally, for AZ it was even higher, being 252% more than expected.
So it appears the comorbidity confounding between vaccine doses was major and over and above the age confounding that was also present
Turns out that there WAS major confounding between the vaccine brands in Czechia.
Twice the proportion of Moderna recipients were chronically ill than Pfizer (7.4% vs. 3.7%).
Confounding.
I can't post the table here but follow this link for the table and the reference from Czechia.
Retraction time, Steve?

the incidence of myocarditis is 3x for moderna vs pfizer. what's your pretzel logic rationalization for that? lolz.
