A reasonable viewpoint is the data in VAERS is believed as long as it supports the claims of those who do not support vaccinations. And the same goes for those who support vaccinations - they will use VAERS to their advantage as well.
| Age | unvaccinated | fully vaccinated |
|---|---|---|
| 10-59 | 0.9 | 2.2 |
| 60-69 | 24.0 | 12.8 |
| 70-79 | 59.6 | 37.2 |
| 80 + | 214.4 | 157.4 |
If you average for all the weeks covered in the spreadsheet:
| Age | unvaccinated | fully vaccinated |
|---|---|---|
| 10-59 | 1.8 | 1.8 |
| 60-69 | 35.5 | 8.3 |
| 70-79 | 106.7 | 26.2 |
| 80 + | 480.8 | 115.9 |
My conclusions: It was a good idea to get vaccinated if you were over 60 wanted to avoid dying for the period covered. (2021 thru Sept. 24).
If you were under 60 there was no real benefit from getting vaccinated.
The benefit of being vaccinated looks like it's declining. (Current values less than average values), which can probably be most simply described as the vaccines being less effective over time.
I got my data from "Chart 4" of the spreadsheet linked above.
