 @c8ef4612 Huge assumption at 1:30.

Q: What group of people are most likely to be unvaccinated?

A: People who have certain health issues related to vaccines (ie allergies)

Q: What group of people has an abnormally high concern for their health? 

A: People who know they may be killed by things that would not kill other people.

Q: What group of people is least likely to die over any given period? 

A: People who have an abnormally high level of care for their own health.

People who are unvaccinated may have a lower death rate because people who are unvaccinated likely *can't* get vaccinated, and people who can't get vaccinated likely pay attention to their own health to an abnormally high degree. This seems like an absolutely reasonable line of thought.

The "clever way of looking at it" does not account for the fact that people who had gotten the vaccine would be spreading the virus at a higher rate, causing people who are more vulnerable to be more likely to be exposed. The clever way of looking at it is clever because it creates imaginary numbers to push the narrative that they want to push.

I'm happy that you still manage to cope with the "Are we the baddies?" that is rolling in from all directions. The really evil ones are now "We never said that!" in clear denial. 

Sam Harris is now trying to defend the very harsh language that he and the whole establishment had against doctors who treated patients with Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, with "Even though they were right, it was the correct thing to do because we didn't know for sure."
