This reminds me of the recent study where vaccinated people had less non-covid related deaths than non vaccinated. Obviously this isn’t because of the vaccine but demographics of each group, such as healthcare access.

Having access to healthcare, for example, makes one more likely to seek medical help at the briefest presentation of illness. Being the latter more common among the vaccinated, analyzing for positive cases only among hospitalizations for “covid-like symptoms” is extremely disingenuous.
