The UK vaxx rate goes above 90% in high risk older populations. Note how 1,565 of the 1613 vaxx deaths are in the >50 age group. Simplifying a bit, the absolute numbers indicate:
* The death rate in >50 and vaxx population is 5x smaller than the death rate in >50 and unvaxx population.
* The death rate in <50 population is an order of magnitude smaller, with a negligible impact when naively computing age-independent rates.
There is a report I also linked in my other comment that computes rates by age group. See tables at pages 13-16 and charts at pages 17-18.
What I cannot wrap my head around is that covid case rates for >40 age group are higher among vaxxed than unvaxxed, and 30-39 roughly on par. Only in <30 there is a significant 2x-5x reduction in the number of cases. Weren't the vaccines supposed to be effective in preventing infection?
Prediction: As time moves on, we're going to see the definition of 'fully vaccinated' shifting from 2 to 2 + k boosters, and we're going to pretend that 2 + k - 1 boosters are 'unvaccinated'.
