If memory serves, after Covid vaccines became widespread in the U.S., 90+% of patients in ICUs were...unvaccinated. That's hard to argue with.

And I challenge any vaccine skeptic to take a tour through an old graveyard and look at the number of tombstones where the birth and death dates are less than 10 years apart and then think vaccines are useless. And ever heard of smallpox? Here's an interesting graph: statista.com

Then let's talk about scarlet fever. Whooping cough. Polio. Personally on this last, my wife was born in 1944 and remembers public wading pools being closed due to outbreaks of polio. I still remember in about 1962 or so my parents walking me down to my elementary school to get the little sugar cube with the red side to take. It was not optional.

My generation (born 1956) is really the first generation in history _not_ to have to deal with a plethora of deadly childhood diseases, thanks to vaccinations. End of discussion as far as I'm concerned.

There's a wonderful article in a Scientific American about graphing: scientificamerican.com.

"Despite its popularity, nobody knows how Anscombe concocted his quartet. Justin Matejka and George Fitzmaurice of Autodesk Research in Toronto sought to rectify this gap in knowledge and took the concept to its extreme. They demonstrated a general-purpose method for taking any data set and transforming it into any target shape of your choosing while preserving whichever summary statistics you want (up to two decimal places). The results are the datasaurus dozen."

Here's the "dinosaur graph":
