To the editor:

Peter Hill’s recent letter in The Conway Daily Sun is a fine example of COVID misinformation. Mr. Hill cites data from military health statistics that seem to show extraordinary jumps in diagnoses before and after COVID — a 300 percent increase in cancer, a 300 percent increase in miscarriages and a 1,000 percent increase in neurological issues. Such bizarre stats ought to be rejected on their face, or at least be investigated.

I think you're light on the vaccinated vs. unvaccinated COVID deaths. Here are the numbers from the official CDC report for October-November. Note that when you adjust for the size of the vaxxed vs. unvaxxed pools, it is closer to 100:1

October–November

Overall (age-standardized) 1,108,298 347.8 650,820 87.7 4.0 (3.6–4.4) 19,954 25.0 13.9 (12.2–15.9)
