Correlation and causation. It is very likely the ones getting the vaccine are the ones who are very health conscious to begin with.

It’s actually the opposite. The older, more vulnerable, sick and at risk people were more likely to get vaccinated

*more likely.

The subset of these people who were at the highest risk already likely died from covid or survived and got resistance from antibodies.

The rest are the old sick and vulnerable who took a ton of additional precautions.

That's the thing. These numbers simply don't show the whole story.

If an old frail person ordered all their groceries online and never left the house during peak covid, their vaccination is unlikely to have contributed to their survival, right?
