Default Vaccine and infection details matter, which headlines don't convey

Details matter, but you don't get all the information from headlines, nor from the analysis public sees. Yes, CoachK has access to all the hospital data and can see this issue clearly. For those who have only visited hospitals for personal medical reasons, and who don't actually get to listen to daily all department briefings by senior staff, can't really appreciate what goes on behind the scenes, and what happens on a daily basis to make your encounter have the best outcome possible by other humans who make mistakes like you do.

COVID-19 breakthrough data triggers common statistical mistake

Likewise, thinking that medical data reported is determined by a hospital is also flawed. The feds and the states determine what and how the hospitals report. And that means that the states and the fed determine the definitions of what and how to count. And let me tell you, the hospitals are given unrealistic deadlines from the states and the fed to report, meaning the data is not previously collected, so then the hospitals push back in a somewhat one sided negotiations, the new data request meeting is on Friday afternoon and the reporting is required to start Monday, state mandated

So when the big hospitals all use the same EPIC system, and EPIC doesn't manage the individual state required data points. . . hospitals data and analytics staff spend hours working on collecting data for public health reporting, to be used by the political system.

Voting matters folks, and the primaries matter more the people realize.

good luck out there
