Yet, the red shift data produces distances which match the parallax with
very good accuracy.

Parallax is useful only to fairly short distance it seems to me.

Nope. Parallax can be effective to very long distances. (not the 500million
light year sort of distances though).

The key part is, it matches at the distances we can use it.

The
whole solar system is already a mere point-like event compared to even
the local galaxy.

Yes. Parallax works beyond our local group though.

Sorry to intercede here.

Its not just parralax though. There are standard candles such as
Faber-Jackson and Tully Fisher, SN and Cepheids, and the other parallax
(Statistical parallax).

Of all the others I would be willing to admit that FJ and TF could be
argued against (re:scaling) but with Cepheids not so much so - and one
of the HST's original foci was to look at cepheids.
