How would you ever justify being against science trying to prevent you from dying from COVID and then accepting science trying to save you? It doesn't make sense, rationally.
Not only is your rewrite foolish, it is based on a faulty analysis. You misunderstand the numbers presented in a study that acknowledged it's own limitations. I explained this before yet here it is again.

Two common errors: using bad data and using data badly.
