According to the famous study done by Gary Kleck in 1995, guns also save around 300'000 lives each year in the USA.
So, what do you guys think, did defensive gun use or COVID-19 vaccines save more lives in 2021?
You're comparing measurable and repeatable numbers in the Covid research with numbers Kleck effectively pulled out of his arse (his metodology is awful, his protection measures against bias, false positives and other confounding variables is non-existent and his results are unreplicable). Of course Covid-19 vaccines are going to show more lives saved.
You think Gary Kleck's methodology is bad? Well, explain to me why do you think the methodology of the study I linked to, estimating that vaccines saved 300'000 lives in 2021 in the US alone, is good? Do you even understand their methodology? I personally don't.
