Did guns or vaccines save more lives in 2021?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Not necessarily. Suppose I make the claim, without a study, that trees are made of wood. Someone conducts a flawed study which concludes that trees are made of pickled beets.

Which claim is ‘way more wrong’?

Are you a rationalist or an empiricist? Because what you say seems to be against empiricism.

I’m an empirical rationalist, but that’s hardly the point. YOU made the claim that a non-study conclusion is always more wrong than a study-based conclusion. The hypothetical above was intending to point out how bone-headedly stupid your claim is.
