Right off the bat, their headline should be "unvaccinated people who have been officially tested for covid." Since this is Texas, a vast majority of the people who get covid probably won't even bother to get a PCR test...I in fact mentioned this to a friend in Texas when she texted me, annoyed by this announcement...sure enough, she (who is unvaccinated) said "you're right, I wouldn't go get tested if I had covid, I'd stay home and treat myself." The people in Texas who are most likely to get the shot are also the ones probably more likely to get a PCR test when sick.

Either way, 20x .001 or whatever the numbers are is still a very small risk.

It reminds me of how they made it sound like kids who had covid had a much higher chance of myocarditis...until you look at their sample data and it was taken *only* from kids in hospitals...which means they were comparing covid myocarditis cases potentially to kids who were in the hospital for an auto accident.

Using this skewed data, they blared out a headline saying kids who had covid had a 37 times higher risk of myocarditis than uninfected children.
