Thanks for sharing this. The chart you posted is making a misleading claim about vaccine mortality. Let me break down why this graph is not valid evidence against vaccination:
1. No source, no methodology
- The chart doesn’t cite a peer-reviewed study, dataset, or methodology.
- Without knowing where the data came from, how it was collected, or how it was analyzed, the figure is not scientifically reliable.
- Real epidemiological studies always provide data sources and methods.
2. Misleading comparison between groups
-
It plots “mortality rate” for vaccinated vs unvaccinated, but the axes are rigged:
-
For vaccinated: time since vaccination → death.
-
For unvaccinated: an arbitrary reference date (March 8, 2021).
-
That means the two groups aren’t being compared under the same conditions. It’s an apples-to-oranges comparison.
3. Age and health bias (confounding)
- Vaccinated people in early 2021 were disproportionately older, sicker, and more vulnerable (the groups prioritized for vaccination).
- Naturally, they have higher mortality regardless of vaccination. This explains why the “vaccinated” curve appears higher early on.
- Proper studies adjust for age, comorbidities, and baseline risk — this graph doesn’t.
4. Cherry-picked timescale
- The graph suggests vaccinated mortality “spikes” after vaccination, but the Y-axis values are tiny (around 0.05 per capita annually, i.e. 5%).
- When properly adjusted, all-cause mortality among vaccinated is lower, as shown in multiple large studies (e.g., from the CDC, UK ONS, Israel, Denmark).
5. Contradicts large-scale real evidence
-
Peer-reviewed studies with millions of participants consistently show:
-
Vaccination reduces all-cause mortality and COVID-19 mortality.
-
Example: A 2022 Lancet Infectious Diseases study of 10 million people showed vaccinated individuals had lower overall mortality than unvaccinated, even excluding COVID deaths.
-
If vaccines truly increased death rates as this chart suggests, it would have shown up in national mortality statistics — it hasn’t.
✅ Bottom line:
This graph is misleading because it uses different baselines for vaccinated vs unvaccinated, fails to adjust for age/health, and provides no data source. Properly controlled studies overwhelmingly show vaccination reduces death risk, not increases it.
