The findings in this report are subject to at least four limitations.
First, the study was observational, and individual-level confounders that were not adjusted for might affect mortality risk, including baseline health status, underlying conditions, health care utilization, and socioeconomic status.
Second, healthy vaccinee effects were found in all but the youngest age group. Such effects were also found in a cohort study conducted in a nursing home population, which reported substantially lower aRRs for 7-day mortality among vaccinated residents after dose 1 (0.34) and dose 2 (0.49) as compared with unvaccinated residents (5). Lower rates of non–COVID-19 mortality in vaccinated groups suggest that COVID-19 vaccinees are inherently healthier or engage in fewer risk behaviors (7,8); future analyses will address these issues.
Third, although deaths associated with COVID-19 were excluded, causes of death were not assessed. It is possible that the algorithm used might have misclassified some deaths associated with COVID-19 because of lack of testing or because individual mortality reviews were not conducted.
Finally, the findings might not be applicable to the general population.
I think the key here is Third reason. They probably did the same fuckery they do with covid-19 numbers for unvaxxed in general, but for vaxxed in this study. By declaring deaths are due to Covid-19, you remove it from non-covid-19 group.
What they should have done is all cause mortality - dont bother covid status, simply check for deaths from any cause - that way they wont have anywhere to hide.
This result either shows an extremely flawed methodology or that the health care system is discriminating against non vaccinated people.
Maybe selecting people who took flu shots biased the sample and the correction for age etc further distorted the result.
They should take a single age group like 30-40 yrs where the vaccine uptake is fairly low and do all cause mortality. I suspect they wouldn't be able to publish that result though.
I suspect their process was
. run the numbers
. Discover the vaccine is killing more people than covid
. Diddle the methodology until this improbable result emerges
. Profit!

Exactly. Improbable result = most probably manipulated data
Kind of funny they didn't find a result a little more believable. Maybe it's a cry for help.
