I saw the same comment on a different thread today, so I decided to have a sceptical look at the summary and analysis link. From that link:

> Here is the pro-vaccine argument: “It isn’t the absolute number of deaths that should be compared as there are 20 times MORE people vaccinated over age 50 (where most deaths occur) than unvaccinated. The UK has a 95% vaccination rate for people over 50. The rate of deaths is much, much lower in the vaccinated population. The rate of death is the number who have died in a population (vaccinated or unvaccinated) relative to the size of the population, usually expressed as number per 100,000 people. With 20,000,000 vaccinated people over 50, the death rate is 3.2 (per 100,000 people), but for the 1,000,000 UNvaccinated people, the death rate is 32 (per 100,000 people) — ten times higher. In other words, the vaccine is 90% effective against death, consistent with what was found in the original clinical trials.” Of course, the chart also shows that people who are UNvaccinated are twice as likely to need overnight hospitalization than vaccinated people (4,033 vs 2,204), and thus this is one of the strongest justifications/reasons to get vaccinated.

I'm glad what appears to be an anti-vax article was actually showing both sides.
