“Isn’t it supposed to decrease rates?”
No, it was never to cure covid or stop it from being transferred. It was to make the patient feel better when they caught it. The possibility of death from covid had nothing to do with the vax.
It would, also, stand to reason that elderly people are more prone not to be able to combat the virus than younger more healthy people.
In 2020, the death rate for COVID-19 among adults aged 85 and over (1,645.0 per 100,000 population) was 2.8 times higher than the rate for ages 75–84 (589.8), and 7 times higher than that for ages 65–74 (234.3).
Age-adjusted death rates for COVID-19 were higher for men than women for all race and Hispanic-origin groups among adults aged 65 and over.
In 2020, age-adjusted death rates due to COVID-19 in the population aged 65 and over ranged from 90.5 in Hawaii to 872.0 in New Jersey. Among adults aged 85 and over, 38.9% of COVID-19 deaths occurred in a nursing home or long-term care facility compared with 19.2% among adults aged 75–84 and 9.7% among those aged 65–74.

And determining that certain facilities are a model for others isn’t a good comparison. If you have an enclosed facility with an airborne infectious capacity, there are going to be higher rates of covid transferred. (Close proximity) And if no one came into the facility that had covid, would anyone catch it that lived there?
The only real thing this thread is displaying is that words can be shifted to misrepresent a theory. (Or to mislead)

Biden told the public if you get the shot you won’t get Covid.
Fauci, Walensky - they told the public you wouldn’t get sick and you wouldn’t spread it. ‘STOP THE SPREAD’ Were you in the United States during Covid? Because we were blanketed with 24/7 ‘STOP THE SPREAD’ and ‘DON’T BE SELFISH’ messaging telling us we couldn’t go back to work until ‘we’ all got vaccinated. People unvaccinated were barred from events because they could get ill, but vaccinated people were allowed in public.
]Everyone had to ‘do their part’ to protect others, or so we were lectured daily. They told you your grandmother would die if you became ill and visited her, so grandma often died alone with only masked staff in her line of site for her last days. I can’t believe you people think you can rewrite history like you’re trying to do.
