Deaths within 28 days of positive test

[Nextlevelnonsense]

This has been done to death already, and we clearly appreciate that it is a statistical necessity to record deaths in this way.

Genuinely want to understand why we don't also have statistics for 'Deaths within 28 days of Covid vaccination'.

I imagine that those statistics would be incredibly useful in encouraging people to be vaccinated.
Why can't these be published?

I imagine a fair few old people will have died within 28 days of vaccination. People would then say the vaccine had killed them.

I don't really get this statistic. I thought most people were ill for longer than 4 weeks and then died. What about people who die 29 days after covid test? Is that just not covid then?

I think they would be included in the figures for Covid on the Death Certificate.
