Reply to A study in the US has found, compared to unvaccinated people, protection from the risk of dying from COVID during the six-month omicron wave for folks who had two doses of an mRNA vaccine was 42% for 40- to 59-year-olds; 27% for 60- to 79-year-olds; and 46% for people 80 and older. by Wagamaga
Mdpi is a predatory journal publisher that will publish anything as long as they get paid. Just skimming over this study shows that it would have never passed any real review process in terms of quality of data and analysis.

If they write unsolicited invitations to journals that have nothing to do with my field, or invite me to be an editor for said journals, promise rapid publication and have publication fees, I think it's fair for me to call them predatory. Its the combination of all of those and the effort of customization they put it. I got invitations from renowned journals but those came from editors that are known in the field and match my research. Predatory ones just randomly scrap titles from the web and paste them into whatever template they have for their issue of the day.
