[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a "healthy vaccinee bias" which is a big factor behind covid vaccine effectiveness results. People who get the vaccine often have better access to health care, less blue collar jobs, etc. and so have better outcomes. While it seldom gets mentioned, the covid vaccinated also have lower mortality rates than the unvaccinated for non-covid diseases as well for this same reason. [/quote]

Actually, the opposite. The people who get vaccines are most likely high-risk..[/quote]
High risk individuals get the vaccine, but only if they can access it. Also, the most at-risk elderly can be deemed too ill to receive the vaccine.

Since the covid vaccine's introduction, many not-at-risk people have received it; that data forms the basis for the vaccine effectiveness statistics that are generally quoted. Unless you think covid vaccines magically protect against non-covid illness, there are factors beyond the vaccine itself that are driving the fact that the covid vaccinated have lower mortality from non-covid illnesses than the covid unvaccinated. Those same factors apply to covid illnesses as well.
