Can someone explain this to me?

The explanation is in the fine print of Table 20. If you follow the links, it takes you here:

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/bulletins/deathsinvolvingcovid19byvaccinationstatusengland/deathsoccurringbetween2januaryand24september2021

Where you will learn this:

The age-standardised mortality rate for deaths involving COVID-19 is 32 times higher for unvaccinated people than for those who received the second dose

It's basically a way of correcting for the factors I just mentioned in an earlier post. MOST Covid deaths are old people. But, MOST deaths of ANY kind, are also old people. In Scotland, as in most countries very close to 100% of elderly people are vaccinated. Thus, these "vaccinated" people are dying at a MUCH higher rate than the "unvaccinated" younger people. This factoring, done by Scottish Health authorities, corrects for this age bias.

They also mention the other factor I mentioned: Overall health is another factor. They don't have a way of correcting for this, but... typically, older people have significantly higher co-morbidities.

I'm fascinated by another factor that stands out...(one that I also see in the Singapore data) that is: People who receive only 1 dose are close to the same danger level as the unvaccinated. It really takes TWO doses, and some time for the benefits to become significant.

In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled 89% of Covid-19 Deaths among the Fully Vaccinated – Latest Public Health Data proves this is a ‘Pandemic of the Fully Vaccinated’ and suggests the Vaccinated are more likely to die, SomeCallMeTim wrote:

SomeCallMeTim,

Since the official report states that the Age Standardized Mortality Rate (ASMR) for Deaths invovling Covid-19 ASMRs do not show a causal link between vaccines and a risk of mortality, how do you feel the ASMR information you quoted is best interpreted by the public?

Quoting it as you do, might people get the false impression that the ASMR actually indicates the 'vaccines' made the 32 fold difference in mortality when the document states that calculation does not mean that.

It seems you're refuting the Expose's article's title indicating the vaccines result in higher rates of illness among the vaccinated by misquoting the Age Standardized Mortality Rate.

The Expose's article title is correct - it truly is a Pandemic of The 'Vaccinated'.

“People who receive only 1 dose are close to the same danger level as the unvaccinated.”

I noticed that too. I imagine we’ll see booster after booster, since the effect fades.

“Thus, these “vaccinated” people are dying at a MUCH higher rate than the “unvaccinated” younger people.”

Yes, I do understand that. And that’s why the Expose article is disingenuous, giving straight numbers without giving the total vaccinated and total vaccinated or the rate of deaths for each category is intentionally misleading. Especially since the conclusion from it is in the headline.
