The 1st paragraph in that link can be deceptive because.......one must remember and keep in mind that Covid DEATHS are directly proportional to AGE. That is older people are more LIKELY to die from Covid. Another fact is that NO vaccination shot has EVER been 100% effective in preventing disease or death from that disease.
.........Fact.......Older people over 60 read that they were more susceptible to dying of Covid - young people hardly at all, so the older people GOT the vaccine and booster (at least the smart ones)
......OK......need to follow closely now........The link's VERY 1st sentence says "for the 1st time, the majority of US people dying from Covid have been vaccinated. I am sure that is TRUE...........because the problem is that the link is NOT comparing EQUAL AGE populations. Obviously, older people are dying more than the young general population, which are composed of young people that are RARELY killed by Covid.
Older people die more from ANY disease than younger people. so, ALL that the link's 1st sentence really says is that EVEN WITH THE VACCINATIONS, older people are dying more FROM Covid than younger people WITHOUT the vaccine ARE DYING from Covid - because younger people have some type of natural immunity that older people do NOT have.
The link's last paragraph is a good summary. "if all states achieved the same vaccine LEVEL as Vermont, there would be a greater relative protection in the US from severe Covid disease." That last paragraph, basically, gives people the valuable advice to GET their shots and boosters and DISREGARD the anti-vaccine propaganda !
