Current studies show the difference between vaccination/unvaccinated deaths, hospitalizations, etc. 2.46x more likely to die if you're unvaccinated. Why doesn't the whistleblower mention this data?
October 2 - Nov 2, 2023 Washington State data - unvaccinated vs vaccinated - hospitalization - <35 2x more likely to be hospitalized, 35-64 - 4.5x(!), 65+ - 2.4x. Death? 35-64 - 1.3x more likely to die if unvaccinated, 65+ - 2.5x more likely to die.

Your second study is a Meta-anylasis. These are actually the only studies I've seen without limitations and/or pharmaceutical funding that show a benefit to the vax. But then you look at the studies they used for the meta-anylasis and almost every single one is funded by pfizer or the main author works for pfizer and then you see tons of limitations listed.
In your meta-anylasis that you posted you can scroll down to the bottom and see the studies they used to gather their data. I scrolled down until I found studies comparing death rates and these are excerpts from the only 3 that I happened to click on. So who knows what the other 33 studies they used show....
7th study referenced... "If an antigen test was positive and then a subsequent PCR test was negative for the same patient, the patient was considered positive". They did this despite a PCR test being more sensitive. In the same study, "Each hospital admission was counted as a single observation in the denominator. We did not link index hospital admissions and readmissions." So if grandma came in for some medicine and then again 3 days later, she got counted as 2 covid hospitalizations.
12th study. "Some persons might have received COVID-19 vaccines outside of KPNW (e.g., at a mass vaccination site) and might have been misclassified as unvaccinated if the record was not available." In other words, a vaccinated person could have died and it would have counted as an unvaccinated death. How convenient.
Scroll down to the notes and you can see why such a huge discrepancy was allowed... First author mentioned, "Allison L. Naleway reported institutional funding from Pfizer".
13th study. "Booster doses could not be distinguished from additional primary doses administered to immunocompromised persons, which could result in reduced IRRs." "Variable data linkage completeness might have resulted in MISCLASSIFICATIONS".
So same limitation 2 studies in a row. Scroll down further... "Leah Eisenstein reports ownership of 100 shares of Pfizer stock" Not that much really, but once again we see missclassification. The whole entire point of these studies is to differentiate between vaccinated and unvaccinated.
I stopped after these three studies and they all include more limitations than just what I listed and there are another 33 studies referenced in your meta anylasis.
A lot of independent studies have limitations also, but most of them do not. And the studies that do have limitations aren't as severe as what I listed above. A 6th grade biology class could create a better study than both the Washington state study and the Meta-anylasis that you provided. You'd think if the vaccine was so great they would be able to use some accurate data.
