So like, wow! Analogies do work after all!

Bro. Are you seriously comparing a group (vaccinated) with an entire country that contains all groups?

The vaccine is the variable which effects the cohort's 'mortality rate' as compared to that same cohort without that variable.

The CDC says that the vaccine lowers the entire mortality rate by a ridiculous number. Almost as ridiculous as your 'move to Japan' analogy.

You should give them your resume. You'd fit right in. You both could sit around all day and write stupid things and post them on the internet.

I admire your persistence. If you could match it with just a wee little bit of reading comprehension, you could be a good advocate for conservative causes.

Practice on this two paragraph excerpt from the study. Look for whether the CDC acknowledges that the cause of the discrepancy in mortality rates might be the "healthy vaccinee effect" which is when people who are already more healthy are more likely to get vaccinated. Look carefully. Try to find the words "healthy vaccinee effect". Ready? Go:

The lower mortality risk after COVID-19 vaccination suggests substantial healthy vaccinee effects (i.e., vaccinated persons tend to be healthier than unvaccinated persons) (7,8), which will be explored in future analyses. Mortality rates among Janssen vaccine recipients were not as low as those among mRNA vaccine recipients. This finding might be because of differences in risk factors, such as underlying health status and risk behaviors among recipients of mRNA and Janssen vaccines that might also be associated with mortality risk.

Among persons aged 12–17 years, mortality risk did not differ between Pfizer-BioNTech vaccinees and unvaccinated persons; only 12 deaths occurred in this age group during the study period. The unvaccinated group might be more similar to the vaccinated group in risk factors than are vaccinated and unvaccinated adults.
