It's not enough to just compare % of deaths to % of populations when the population that is getting vaxxed might be different than the population that is not getting vaxxed. As an example of this, please see here:
This is why double-blind trials that balance the populations are so important. Unfortunately, the trials we had were too short to capture the waning efficacy of the vaccines. More & more, I don't believe we have a good estimate of the VE. I don't know how we correct this at this point.
I completely agree. For example, I highly doubt that the ~30% of age 85+ residents of NYC who are unvaccinated have the same average baseline health as the ~70% who are vaccinated. This creates a major confound when trying to estimate vaccine efficacy.
The purpose of this post was not to argue for or against specific vaccine efficacy estimates, but simply to rebut the claim that the vast majority of Covid deaths are still in the vaccinated.
You are well versed in the data from places like the UK, so you know this claim is false. Sadly, the majority of Americans are still completely in the dark on this because the legacy media refuses to cover the issue, and instead pushes noble lies to protect their preferred narrative.
