If a study was conducted the same way but attributed them to the injections would you feel differently about it based solely on the conclusion?

Not liking something doesn't make it invalid, imo.

Does that invalidate the results?

This study was supported in part by a
gift from Mr. and Mrs. Michael Ferro.
A gift or donation is "funds"gift from Mr. and Mrs. Michael Ferro.
What are you talking about with "invalidate"- I already posted earlier the study stated there was no conflicts of interest.
My questions were:
1. Why did Michael Ferro fund this study?
2. Did his political donations to hyper partisan democrats help leverage the remaining grant approval?
You are having some odd, unrelated, responses to these- are you okay?

Your second question suggests you're unfamiliar with NIH grants. But I shared the grant in question.

Why are you are you so presumptuous and skeptical?

Just the type of person you would expect to make selfless actions like this, with no vested interest.

Another semi related sidenote- the national Institute of health reports to the department of health and human services.
Xavier Becerra is the secretary of health and human services.
He got his Law degree at Stanford - which is pretty prestigious.
I think it makes a lot of sense to have a good lawyer in charge of the department of health and human services.

But we can move on to the cognition tests. They weren’t answered by participants before diagnosis, so they don’t really tell us what the study is suggesting. All it really does it provide evidence that older people are more likely to score lower on cognition tests, which is nothing groundbreaking. Yet they try to use it as evidence of “long Covid” effects. Just another reason to be skeptical of their other methods, including the “headache” aspect of the “study”.

OP has a reputation of fudging number in the direction of the narrative he supports (by at least two decimal points), linking "models" that are mathematically impossible as "real world data", and flat out lying (again, to support the narrative).
Easiest thing to do is to assume that anything he posts is just more of the same.

Similar to how story telling can be employed to prevent discussion of some topics.
Hecklers gon' heckle, as they say.

Who does this for NIH? HHS Office of Inspector General.
And who better to be the final oversight for that than the former was Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus

Are you suggesting no NIH grant reviewers have a "health mind"?
S'all good.
You said your goal was to derail the thread because you don't think covid should be discussed.
You're not alone

Thanks for admitting it.

You said "covid thread" and asked why I posted in R&P.
You then offered no alternative sub when asked politely.
So I guess we'll stick with R&P. Even though many really don't want the topic discussed and will take active roles in preventing discussion.
Curious.

Was that another lie that we can add to your long list of lies?
One doesn't have to wonder why you can't answer a rudimentary question about lot control of yhe very vaccines you claim to have been administering.
Because you are "taking an active role in preventing discussion."

Do you disagree?
