I looked at some mortality rates at a variety of ages and two genders. It took at least a 5 year age difference to double the rate.

What led you to a 2 year age difference?

Note that in addition to an age difference between the two groups, there could be a health difference. Unhealthy folks might very well tend to get vaccinated.

Further note that it’s difficult to conclude the vaccines are effective from this graph.

I clearly indicated that my figure of a 2-3 year age-difference was an entirely hypothetical supposition, for the sake of speculation.

Might be. But could also be the reverse. It's too bad that this data doesn't permit an exploration of such interesting suppositions!
