Is epidemiology reliable? Here’s a simple challenge to the world’s epidemiologists.
Executive summary
Is epidemiology reliable?
I created a test file with a challenge that you can download from my github.
It lists data from two cohorts, A and B, and their deaths each week. The data is real. A substantial number of people in one of the cohorts got the COVID vaccine (enough to make a statistically significant difference).
Can you determine which cohort got the shots and what their benefit was?
It will be interesting to see how many epidemiologists get the right answer which I will reveal after the submissions are in.
Please reply to the pinned comment with your answer.
Thanks!
