Depends on the demographics of who gets vaccinated and who doesn't. If the elderly get vaccinated at a higher rate, it seems normal that vaccinated people would have a higher non-covid mortality rate.

It is also not surprising if healthy people are less likely to get vaccinated.

Wouldn’t the original study depend on demographics as well? If the young get vaccinated at a higher rate, it seems normal that unvaccinated people would have a higher covid mortality rate.
