Do COVID Vaccines Work? (part 5)

In this article I utilise data from an unknown NHS Trust and further develop multivariate logistic regression models in the prediction of vaccination status prior to death

Easy Does It

I thought we ought to start out nice and simple by using the methodology established in part 4 to assess incidence of cardiac conditions and hypertension in relation to COVID and vaccination. Though COVID-19 is billed as a respiratory disease there are those…
