>>I am sure you have heard that hospitals often attribute death to the C-19 even when people die of underlying conditions. My brother's father-in-law died this year, in his 90-s, he got C-19 when recovering from a broken hip operation. Officially he died of C-19. Although a friend of mine, a doctor, said that he believe that having hip operation at this age could have been more contributing factor.
>>The problem, nobody knows.

In places like New Zealand with fewer than 50 deaths total attributed to C19, it can be easier to review. Almost all of these deaths were in nursing homes or with major co-morbidities- "already circling the drain" as one whistler-past-the-graveyard put it... though one was a gunshot victim counted as C19 because he died within 28 days of a positive C19 test.

I do wonder about this "within 28 days of a C19 test" definition that tends to inflate tallies. Until now, cause of death came from a death certificate signed by the patient's MD or a coroner. Why the change? Curiously, deaths within 28 days of vaccination are not automatically counted as vaccine side effects.

Anyway: my own review of data agrees with yours, that people of the age of most of us here, generally are better off jabbed if there's C19 community spread. Jury is still out on younger people as vaccine side effects start to be recognized.

Perhaps good news for 2022: South Africa's experience suggests that Omicron may be the beginning of the end of the pandemic as the bug mutates itself into a doddering shadow of its former self. Some argue that Omicron meets the old definition of a vaccine (an attenuated/weakened strain that confers immunity to its nasty relatives). If true, then history cycles back to the dawn of vaccination that is named after Variolae vaccinae, the weak Cowpox bug that Jenner used to immunize against the far nastier Smallpox.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
