The first thing I notice, the sample size does not make sense.

Which analysis are you talking about? I posted 4.

Bottom Line - a tiny group of un-vaxxed elderly are dying from Covid at a rate that is about 6X times higher than a very large group of vaxxed elderly.

Right, and if that very large group wasn't vaxxed we would have 6X as many deaths among them. How can you not think having 83% fewer deaths in a large population of elderly is a good thing?

Healthy Americans under age 60 have almost zero risk of dying from Covid - BEFORE they get vaxxed!

It isn't zero.

What's the argument against a treatment that cuts your risk of death from a pandemic disease by some multiple, even if the absolute risk is fairly small?

If you're going to say the vaccine increases your risk of death please also provide some data to substantiate the claim.

Re: Which source

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-to-compare-covid-deaths-for-vaccinated-and-unvaccinated-people/

The first link in Comment #86. Scroll down to the first chart. The population sample number is on the header.

Re: It isn't zero.

Healthy adults under age 60 have the same mortality rate for Covid as they have for influenza - a small fraction of 1%.

If the CDC counted influenza deaths exactly the same way it counts Covid deaths, healthy adults under age 60 would have a higher mortality risk from influenza than from Covid.

Instead, the CDC counts 90% of influenza + pneumonia deaths as pneumonia deaths.

The CDC counts 100% of Covid + pneumonia deaths as Covid deaths.

I need to walk to Safeway before the sun goes down - I will respond to the rest of your comments when I get back.
