Survival of the fittest! I assume the people that decided no vax would weed themselves out via natural selection.

Depends which data you are looking at though, who produces it and what financial interests are behind the organisations putting it out. A lot of organisations especially in the US are captured by the pharmaceutical companies.

As an accommodation to the shortness of life and our own interests and training, we often form opinions, even strong opinions, based on a combination of logic, the opinions of recognized experts, and the absence of contrary evidence in our own anecdotal observations.
