I can’t believe you thought this meant “to date” or “as of”, which means from the start of the pandemic until now. So, now you can go back to my post #60 and understand the percentages better. Just don’t look at your reply, which was post 61. You said 48% of the people who are dying are over 65. Where did you get that #? Was it from your first link? Did you just total 65-74 years – 22.4% and 75-84 years – 26% to get 48%. Did you forget to expand the chart to include 85+ years, which is another 27%? Also, not to reiterate the obvious, but this chart is AS OF, so start of pandemic and NOT just August 2022.

To quote yourself,
“thanks for playing”
Funny, you never mentioned the post I responded to...

You know, the one that said that:

"89% of those dying are over 65.
94% of those over 65 have received 1 shot."

Both of those statements are incorrect, even using your "August 2022" info

But I'll give you the extra 27% (which STILL doesn't add up to 89%), since it didn't show up when I first looked at the link...
