In the younger age groups, most of the co-morbidities that are associated with the vast majority of Covid-19 deaths are neither as common nor as deadly as in the older groups.

Quite right, and thus is the death rate for all causes lower as well. However, there is a large difference between those in their twenties and thirties and for instance the age group 50 - 59. The data is there in the Xls-file.

If one assumes (a big IF since the data is not presented in this file) that 90% of the people in the age group 50 - 59 years are vaccinated, then one can correct for the age bias in the two groups (assuming that all other ages are equally vaccinated) and then there is no difference in deaths between unvaccinated and vaccinated.

When the people who are publishing this data are aware of the age-bias one wonders why they present the data without one more data-sheet showing the effect of correcting for the age-bias? Sloppy to say the least!

As it stands the data certainly indicate an increased mortality in vaccinated people in the younger to middle-aged age-group, though, I suspect if a proper correction for age had been carried out there would not be any difference.

On the basis on such sloppy data people are asked to decide whether to get vaccinated or not! Really bad!

One other thing to consider is that deaths from Covid within two weeks of vaccination are classified as deaths of the unvaccinated. Similarly, most deaths (rightly or wrongly) attributed to the vaccines themselves occur within two weeks of the vaccination, and so are classified as deaths - from whatever cause - of the unvaccinated.

To make an exaggerated example, if 100,000 people were vaccinated, and the jab killed 10,000 of those people within two weeks, those would all be classified as deaths of the unvaccinated. Now, such a massive death rate (10%) so close to vaccination could not be ignored even by the most avid pro-vaxxer, but how far can you reduce the death rate to the point where people will ignore it? 5,000? No. 1,000? Probably not. 500? Maybe. 100-300? Almost without a doubt.
