Risk of death should be 95% in that double jabbed group and they make up only 29% of deaths instead. If 5% of deaths has become 61% then the risk of death has reduced dramatically.
At a certain point, the majority of deaths will be vaccinated because the majority of people will be vaccinated and:
- someone has to be in the 5% who don't develop antibodies
- someone has to be very frail or immune suppressed where any bug will carry them off but they've been exposed to covid so that's the one
- someone has to die of other causes within 28 days of a positive test.
Hmm - your processing of these numbers is wrong.
The risk of death 95% - I'm guessing you mean risk of NOT dying! But even that's wrong. The 95% refers to the % of people who WOULD die, who don't because of vaccines. Not that 5% of infected people die!
e.g. if 2% of a group would normally die with covid, after full vaccination the death rate falls from 20 in 1000, to 1 in 1000.
The 29% is a completely different comparison - it's the number of vaccinated people among the group who died. If all other things were equal this would be TERRIBLE news for vaccines as it would mean that instead of reducing the number of deaths by 95%, it's reduced it by a far less figure.
e.g. if 1000 people and half vaccinated, half not, then you'd expect the ratio of deaths to be 20: 1- the vaccinated deaths would make up 4.76% of the dead.
BUT you have to factor in the fact that the most vulnerable people have been vaccinated first. The unvaccinated are mostly among the less at risk anyway, which is why the proportion of vaccinated deaths is higher.
You can't really draw conclusions from these death numbers without knowing the number infected in each group, which we don't.
