"Fantastic statements that the Nobel-Prize-winning COVID-19 vaccines saved millions (and tens of millions) of lives are based on the theoretical scenarios of Watson et al. (2022), published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases. Watson et al. (2022) theoretically inferred massive mortality reductions distributed globally, occurring solely during vaccine rollouts...
Here, we calculate the quantitative consequence of Watson et al.’s theoretical narrative on all-cause mortality by time in 95 countries to show that their results and the associated fantastic claims of millions of lives saved are highly improbable. Our calculations allow graphical demonstrations that the theoretical narrative of Watson et al. has no connection to actual mortality...
5. Conclusion
... Our calculations provide graphical proof that the theoretical proposals of Watson et al. (2022) — corresponding globally to 14.4 or 19.8 million lives saved by COVID-19 vaccination — are untenable, and are not even partially correct.
There is no evidence in actual all-cause mortality data that the COVID-19 vaccine rollouts had any beneficial effect. In fact, the contrary is apparent."
