Thanks for the correction.

> The Ontario page does not show the death rate.

Doesn't it? I see a graph titled "Deaths involving COVID-19 by vaccination status". And that still shows higher deaths/100k in the "Not fully vaccinated" group for every given adult age range: 18-39, 40-59, and 60+ (look at the All time data).

> here is a second set of data from Walgreens. Look at the third page.

That shows the positivity rate. I'm not talking about the positivity rate. We're beyond that now. Everyone will get Covid someday. The vaccine protects you from dying or having serious health issues. There's no vaccine, for any disease, that can prevent you from contracting the disease. That would require vaccines to create force fields around your body, which are science fiction. In the case of the most efficacious vaccines, your immune system will be so well-prepared that your body will fight off the infection without you ever getting any symptoms.

So the last cited death rate is 0.01 vs 0.02 / per 100,000 people. So the vaccinated have 1 death per (100 * 100,000 = 10 million). Or 1 death per 10 million and the "not fully vaccinated" have 2 deaths per 10 million. To give context Ontario has a population of 14 million people. This seems like an easy relative win for the vaccine.

Except:

1) The numbers of deaths are so low, its kind of meaningless to extrapolate to the general population from them, because of sample bias effects.

One reason being that deaths could be coming from a very likely specific sub population. For example very old sick people already in hospital or nursing homes near death that contract the disease. Pretty much anything could kill them. It has no bearing on how a random person from the general population would react. You might have situation where for example there are people that chemo therapy failed, and they either refuse the vaccine (since they will die within weeks anyway) or might be so sick and too weak to take the vaccine and then contract covid as the last straw that breaks them.

So it would be very disingenuous to claim based on such small number that the vaccine lowered deaths in the general population. It would be like telling people in Hawaii to wear gloves to prevent frostbite, based on data collected from Canada showing that people that did not wear gloves had twice the rate of frostbite.

2) "Unvaccinated" and "Not Fully Vaccinated" are two different things according to their definition. They're clearly counting anyone that died within two weeks of getting a shot as being unvaccinated, even if it was their second shot. This is not a fair comparison.

3) Our prime minister caught covid twice in the last 4 months despite being vaccinated and boosted.

There have been studies that show that natural acquired immunity is longer lasting. Since the odds of dying are so low at this point, would you rather get covid once and feel a little bit sicker, unvaccinated, for longer lasting immunity. Or would you rather get vaccinated and boosted and catch it twice, feeling a little less sick each time. Which is what the data seems to be showing is happening. This seems like it should be personal preference decision.
