I know that some people are going to have to read this to understand why it's important, but you guys should know this. You should also know that age-specific metrics aren't public. They were in year 1 of the epidemic, then they went away. You can skip to the and for the too long; didn't read version, but it's not that hard. I even put it in bullet points.
Age-Specific Data When to Use:
Age-Adjusted Data When to Use:
Where to Use:
TLDR; you use age-specific data when the goal is to understand or communicate the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines and the risk of COVID-19 in particular age groups, which allows doctors to make the right policy based on age. You use age-adjusted data for comparing the overall impact of COVID-19 and the effectiveness of public health interventions across different populations like Florida vs Utah (not age groups), ensuring that comparisons are fair and not skewed by differences in age distribution.

It's clear you are close to breaking. Honestly it sounds like you're bleating on about something that's not going to change. “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato
Lol. This isn't even moving my needle emotionally, aside from the immense disappointment that an otherwise intelligent person resorts to gaslighting then strawmanning to avoid admitting their faulty reasoning. You do you, man. We'll let this just disappear into the background until the next time you confidently assert an unverified opinion as fact.

Sure. The data you don't have, "according to me." The data that you could easily prove but you just don't want to, right? You're not getting the last word on this. We'll have 1000-page thread of me asking for the data. Let's go.

I'm happy to get a beer with anyone on this board. It's easier for a person to admit they don't know what they are talking about in person. Kidding. Kind of.

I seriously doubt you would admit you're insatiable in person either. This thread was about Disease X but, as usual, you've turned into some soap box about me not giving you what you want. Because that's my job to placate you. Yeah, it's really not. “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato
You speak out of both sides of your mouth, bro. You say you advocate for vaccinations because all age demographics have positive benefits from the vaccine. When I ask you for the data, you can't provide it (but you pretend like you won't). It's [BLEEP] weak sauce, man. If you can't provide the data necessary, then you should just give your opinion and admit it's your belief. It's that simple.
I have no problems admitting I'm insatiable. Ask my wife. However, if you give me the data I'm asking for... the age-specific data necessary to support your claim, I'll shut up and you won't hear from me again. I have a very specific gripe with you. You're a healthcare leader, and your making claims that are unsupported. This is really easy to make go away.

If you can't provide the data necessary, then you should just give your opinion and admit it's your belief. It's that simple. Here you go, here's one from 2021 that examines the CFR and strain on burden. I know you're just champing at the bit to tear it apart, so I'll just leave it with you. It does not examine the age brackets up to age 30 because of a lack of data in Japan; as a pretty health country already, they had a lesser overall problem with the pandemic. "Unconditional protection from death was also estimated to be extremely high (>97%) for persons in all age groups." Ko YK, Murayama H, Yamasaki L, Kinoshita R, Suzuki M, Nishiura H. Age-Dependent Effects of COVID-19 Vaccine and of Healthcare Burden on COVID-19 Deaths, Tokyo, Japan. Emerg Infect Dis. 2022 Sep;28(9):1777-1784. doi: 10.3201/eid2809.220377. Epub 2022 Jul 12. PMID: 35820166; PMCID: PMC9423928. There was also a pediatric study recently completed in the Scandie countries that showed +72% efficacy at 6 months. I know you'll want to send Dr. Poukka an e-mail to explain how his team is wrong, so there's an e-mail for correspondence at the link. "Among adolescents aged 12 to 17 years, BNT162b2, mRNA-1273, and heterologous vaccine schedules provided high protection against COVID-19 hospitalization, with vaccine effectiveness ranging between 72.6% and 86.0% at 6 months of follow-up, including COVID-19–related hospitalizations caused by omicron." https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/...redirected Anyway, I know this isn't the data you demand, but the fact is that the scholarship on this is getting stronger with each new longer term examination of the outcomes. Now you can get back to saying how wrong I am about everything I say on the topic. “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato

Relax... it's one study, but at least that's a start. I'll start getting into the data.

Look again. You only linked one. You referenced another that I have to search out. You need to simmer down a notch. While this is a start, I need to actually sift through the data before I can see if it supports your claims. Even then, it's still only 2 studies, looking at two different things. I accept that, though. I even like the countries where they got their data. They do a better job collecting their data from my experiences in the past.
Even still, it doesn't mean they are definitively correct, but if the methodology is sound and the data comprehensive, you at least have something to tie your opinions to rooted in fact. I won't get pedantic and point out that in the study you linked, one of the researchers received grants from Pfizer. The other authors didn't have any major conflicts of interest, so I am lest skeptical. It's probably impossible to exist in that field without being associated with Pfizer, but it's worth noticing.

Turns out you didn't say "one link", you said "one study" of which I in fact posted two; for someone who nitpicks things to death you sure are being imprecise today. If I didn't know better I'd say these studies have you rattled a bit; having to agree with me after all this time has to be tough on the nerves. “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato
Lol, if I didn't know better, I'd say you finally took the time to look for something that supports the position you blindly adopted from the CDC and are reveling in the fact that I'm stuck reading this [BLEEP] on a weekday, even though you probably only read the conclusion. I've really lost my appetite for these things, but I'm doing it because I said I would. I'm hardly rattled, though. Since this is old, I have to look at dates and consider all the moving pieces that these people were having to deal with when it was being published. It's really a giant pain. I've forgotten more about this crap than I'd care to admit, but that's what's slowing me down. This nordic study is interesting, but I just don't see how they are attempting to account for all the variables, which is admittedly difficult. Gonna need a day or two before you start gloating.

Lol, yeah...3 seconds of Google Fu is what it took. I read both studies in their entirety overnight, wanted to make sure that it was exactly the data you were unable to find. Edit: Look, I'm admittedly snarking you a little bit here. I think you have to agree with me that it's a long, long, long drop from "I don't have all the data I would like to have" to "since I don't have exactly the data I want all of the other scholarship on this is invalid and the vaccines were of no benefit." I honestly think you're in the first camp much more than the second; you just seem to think it's my fault that you didn't find the data you want, like I ran up to the CDC, NIH, Yale, McGill, the WHO and such and told them to burn the records so L2L couldn't reveal their giant conspiracy. I'm really not. Edit 2: And yeah, it bored the [BLEEP] out of me too. I'm not all that into research, I prefer improvement and innovation. “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato
