No, but I am happy to make that argument if you'd like. Because strictly speaking... yes! I shouldn't value my interpretation over the consensus of domain experts, when I'm not a domain expert. Full stop.
But my argument was, much closer to raw data isn't as valuable as interpreted data. Humans instinctively weight loss with more value than gain. The vaccine will prevent 95% of all clinical infections. But has a 10% negative side effect rate. Which is the more important value in that hypothetical? If you get this vaccine you have a 1 in 10% chance to have a negative side effect... that sounds scary. The negative side effect might much more likely to be flu like symptoms, but that's not what you're gonna remember reading VARES. Where if no one gets the vaccine; IIRC the current case mortality rate is 1% you have a 1% chance to die if you get infected? VS flu like symptoms? That's what I mean. If you're not careful, it's very easy to be tricked by what you read because most people are not gonna hear 10% develop side effects, think flu symptoms. They're gonna thing thrombocytopenia, pericarditis, and anaphylaxis.
