Did guns or vaccines save more lives in 2021?

[FlatAssembler]

So if no other study even tried to estimate the number of lives saved by guns each year in the US... shouldn't we go with the Gary Kleck's study that estimated it to be around 300'000? The burden of proof is on somebody to demonstrate that Gary Kleck's study is wrong, that, if you control for various biases, you get a different number. Since nobody demonstrated that, the burden of proof stays on people who claim Gary Kleck's study is wrong.

That other studies haven’t been done is not a valid reason to accept a flawed methodology.

I thought it is. I thought that's how burden of proof works in science.
