Because that's a backwards way of looking at it. (Warning: math inside.) -- (edited) - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 4, 15:30 4
- Yup. -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 15:39
- The way it's phrased, it's probably including numbers from early in the pandemic where there were no vaccinations, further skewing the numbers -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 15:35 2
  - A more succinct version of my math post: They're telling you row percents, but what's actually important are column percents. - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 4, 15:47 1
    - And the over-70s are much more likely to have underlying health conditions which would further increase their death rate, vaccinated or not. -- nm - Meg Nov 4, 15:53
And how many was that - 2? 20? 200? How many cases total? -- nm - Meg Nov 4, 15:13 1
- I'm having trouble narrowing the stats down to that age range, but across all ages and vax states the death count is 2,156 -- nm* - Beryllium Nov 4, 15:25
