“87% of the people who have died were Vaccinated”
Age of vaccination is the key factor.
Imagine on Big Island there are 100000 old folks and 100000 young folks.
Let’s say the risk of Covid death is .5% for unvaccinated old folks and .1% for vaccinated old folks.
Let’s say the risk of Covid death is .01% for unvaccinated young folks folks and .005% for vaccinated young folks.
Imagine 90% of the old folks get vaccinated and 20% of the young folks get vaccinated.
unvaccinated old dead 10000x.5%=50
unvaccinated young dead 80000x.01%=8
vaccinated old dead 90000x.1%=90
vaccinated young dead 20000x.005%=1
The death toll would be 91 vaccinated, 58 unvaccinated.
The problem with your example is that 71% of the UK is vaccinated, while just over 50% of those in the US are fully vaccinated.
We are hearing that 99+% of COVID deaths in the US are unvaccinated people, while 63-87% in the UK are to vaccinated people (collected from IK deaths back to Feb.).
There is only a 20% difference in fully vaccinated status, while there is a much, much larger discrepancy with their deaths.
It doesn’t add up.
