Conservatively, the entire thing should be trashed for having obvious selection bias. It's like going to a UFO conference and polling attendees on whether they believe in little green men.

That's a valid point if the survey was not also linked on different platforms. But it also would be false to assume people's responses weren't by and large honest. I'm unjabbed and not a believer in the jabs having an overall net benefit; but my reply was actually more biased in favor of the jabs, in that I didn't count a very elderly jabbed relative who subsequently died, because I didn't notice a significant, rapid change in their condition, so I did not consider there to be sufficient evidence of any significant impact of the jabs one way or the other.

On the other hand, among those I know, the unjabbed are generally a bit younger. So there is a considerable inherent bias against the jabs, simply by age.

But the only valid comparisons are between people of about the same ages and baseline health conditions.
