A former reporter known for promoting vaccine misinformation published a blog post claiming that vaccinated people under 60 are dying at twice the rate of their unvaccinated counterparts. According to the post, the supposed “vaccine-caused mortality” was reported by the U.K. government earlier this year. But the data does not support his claims. The age-adjusted COVID-19 death risk was 32 times higher in unvaccinated people than in fully-vaccinated people. In the 10-to-59 age group, the all-cause death rate was higher because the vaccinated population skews older than the unvaccinated population, a result of older adults being prioritized in early vaccination efforts. Older adults obviously have higher death rates than younger adults and adolescents.
