You are citing an opinion piece written in Dec 2021 apparently unskewing mortality data in the UK. "Unscrewing" data is not a good idea, and can lead you down a rabbit hole. There is overwhelming data on COVID vaccine effectiveness, and I am 100% convinced of that with the evidence of my own two eyes. See the dip and subsequent rebound in US life expectancy over the last three years just as one data point.
One common pattern I see in highly intelligent people (and I myself have been guilty of this in the past) is that once convinced of a point of view they can be the most impervious to contrary evidence as they are often able to come up with convincing rationales why that evidence doesnt count or should be dismissed.
This again is not a left/right issue. Many weirdo leftists insisted that HIV was not the real cause of AIDS, or that nuclear power is somehow incredibly dangerous and should be phased out. Vaccine skepticism took hold initially in hypereducated liberals (San Francisco area) in the late 1990's. Somehow, it has gotten transferred to the right during COVID. Someone smarter than me would have to explain how that evolution occurred, but I still think vaccines are among the greatest inventions in human history. With mRNA tech pharma is now looking into cancer vaccines...exciting times.
