For some reason i think of the myth that got spread around about wine being healthy for your heart. Are we sure it's not just a correlation that people who get the vaccine tend to be in a better position to stay healthy than those that may not be able to or refuse the vaccine?

As my doctor said when she said I should get the vaccine: If this study is true, it's great it great, but even if this study turns out to be false, it doesn't matter because I should get the vaccine anyway.
