(Inexcusable) Statistical Blunders

Excessive Mortality due to vaccination

It is bad enough that sensational tabloids spread BS “data summaries” and intentionally stir doubt and fear in the middle of a raging pandemic:

But it is embarrassing/inexcusable and downright shameful that a self-proclaimed statistical authorities (Prof. Dr. Rolf Steyer and Dr. Georg Kappler) backed by titles from the University of Jena and LMU Munich reveal a dangerous level of incompetence which should immediately preclude them from advising unsuspecting politicians: https://www.skirsch.com/covid/GermanAnalysis.pdf

On the upside, thank you Prof. Steyer for providing us lecturers with such a humorous and deterring statistical blunder which never fails to amuse my 1st semester students during the “correlation is not causation” discussion. Quite ironic that Dr. Steyer claims to specialize in causality!
