It's better than the holy card from the nuns,

I know, I know... but these guys aren't blocked on my phone, just my laptop, so I do see their posts occasionally. For me, "Hide" means "I only read and respond to your posts when I'm on the commode." (Voltman just earned himself a place in this special society!)
I don't
need to be right about this, guys, it's not a contest, I just don't want y'all to get sick, okay? Voltmann won't be getting sick any time soon, probably, he's triple vaxed and masked up, so I have no idea what dog he has in this fight.
Handlebars seems to understand what I'm saying, and actually engaged with the numbers, but is not believing me. He's not an idiot, and neither is Voltman. Dave... uh, whatever. Anyway...
YES, I am virtually certain the posts referenced by the antivax disinfo/propaganda sites referenced by Dave refer to death rate per 100,000 people
of any kind, not the people within each group.
There
are studies that look at the rate of unvaccinated COVID-19 deaths within each group calculated per 100,000 in England-- but they specify that this is the number they are looking at, e.g.: "Death rates are calculated as
the number of deaths in each group, divided by
the total number of people in this group. This is given per 100,000 people."
Here's what that graph looks like for 10 months in England:
Here is what it looks like for a shorter time period, about six months:
The other misleading statistic is the one from Berenson about the "10-59" year age group in Britain. Here's something you'll notice right away if you read a lot of research: Select a weird sample, you get weird results.
In this case, "the vaccinated subset of the 10-59yr are MUCH older, not at all comparable to the unvaccinated 10-59." Makes sense: Older people are more likely to get vaccinated because they are more at risk, and older people are much more likely to die, obviously. (Except for me.) (Just kidding.)

This is part 2 in a 4 part blog post series exploring what the data posted by the UK's Office of National Statistics (ONS) on November 1st tell us about the effect of the national vaccination program on death rates.Part 1 focused on COVID-19 deaths. Here we focus on all-cause deaths. It is...
