this stuff just smacks of iignorance and attempts to continue tompoliticize clear public health concerns.

i am sure there will be a red herring in all the data that will cash a small enough shadow.

but this jibbering is about dragging science down to the level of far right ignorance, which is the onlymplace concervatives can win.

Speculation is made either way without datapoints. What's the harm in being transparent if at worst some spurious (but provably spurious) correlations mislead a few people already prone to mistrust? Higher transparency would also dissolve a lot of the claims that the pharmaceutical companies are "hiding" something regarding the actual effectiveness of their vaccines and therapeutics.

I don’t think people claiming pharma companies are going to be satisfied by data dumps. They will simply claim the data are fabricated.

There is so little correspondence between reality and claims already- I think you’re making the mistake that the discourse is in good faith. It doesn’t seem to be to me.
