Analysis of US Counties Demonstrates that COVID Injections Absolutely Do Not Reduce Hospitalizations

From [JOEL SMALLEY] Do the COVID-19 injectables (aka "vaccines") reduce COVID-19 hospitalisations?

Analysis of US counties 24-Feb to 19-May 2022 shows a statistically significant POSITIVE correlation between vaccination and hospitalisation.

Method

Regression of COVID-19 hospitalisation rates between 24-Feb and 19-May 2022 and rates of full and booster vaccination rates on 19-May-22 for the 3,095 US counties that reported the data.

Results

There is a positive relationship between hospitalisation rates and the rate of full vaccination. In other words, the higher the rate of full vaccination, the higher the rate of COVID hospitalisations, assuming ceteris paribus.

There is a positive relationship between hospitalisation rates and the rate of booster vaccination. In other words, the higher the rate of booster vaccination, the higher the rate of COVID hospitalisations, assuming ceteris paribus.

Both variables are statistically significant but the model has very low explanatory power. In other words, there are lots more factors in play but the small impact of COVID vaccination is statistically significant, i.e. not random or due to chance.
