Compared to what, without vaccinations?

They’re just throwing numbers out there to scare people.

For instance, if I just said 150 fully vaccinated people died from COVID-19 in May, that might worry you. And if I’m not providing any context, that’s probably why - because I want to scare you. However, I’ll provide the context that during that same period, 17,850 unvaccinated people died from COVID-19. I’ll share more context that 78% of those over 65 (those most likely to die from COVID-19) are fully vaccinated, meaning that if the vaccines did nothing at all, you would expect roughly 78% of the deaths to be among vaccinated persons. But it wasn’t. 150 is 0.8% of the total 18,000 who died of COVID-19 in May.

Context is required to put things into perspective. If someone isn’t giving you any context, they’re trying to sell you a story that probably isn’t true.
