Oh, like with the covid deaths? Like how when someone had ever tested positive for covid-19, or had simply been exposed and it was assumed they had covid even though no test was done, but died of something else like a car accident or cancer or a lighting strike, the cause of death was pronounced as from covid-19?
What you suggest above is what is called Confounding variables that will destroy the integrity of any data collected. So on one side we don't really know how many people actually got COVID and on the other we really do not know how many people actually died from COVID induced conditions. We also have suspicions that hospitals were very free with calling something COVID since they got fed money from it, so on and so forth.

so quick math:
27.192 delta cases with vax, 68 deaths, 0.25% death rate
53.822 delta cases non vaxed, 38 deaths, 0.07% death rate
so vaxed people have a 4 times higher chance to die if they get delta
As 80%+ adults have had at least 1 shot your numbers would suggest that non vaccinated are getting covid at about 8x the rate of vaccinated and therefore more likely to die.
Or vaccinated are far less likely to even get symptoms so don't get tested.
That doesn't take into account the relative demographic of who has been vaccinated which would suggest the vaccine is even more effective.

BA had 4 pilots die in the space of a week. They were all completely healthy. Pilots are some of the most medically monitored people on the planet. All four had recently been “fully vaccinated.” It is absolutely idiotic to say it’s hard to figure out what caused their deaths.
I am so sick of you and others like you and your idiotic brainwashed comments. Why in the world are you shilling for the drug companies and corrupt government? Seriously- why??
Looking forward to your answers, because I truly don’t understand. You are either brainwashed, or stupid. To keep making comments like yours in the face of all of the evidence implies brainwashing or retardation.
Snopes has been able to verify the identities of three British Airways pilots who died in May and June 2021: Capt. Nicholas Synnott; Senior First Officer Edward Brice-Bennett; and Senior First Officer Grant Mercer. A fourth name was also included in social media posts related to the conspiracy theory, but we were unable to verify any details about the death of that person during the summer of 2021.
Synnott died in June 2021, and his passing was noted in a June 10 article by the Daily Mail, as well as a memorial page created by his loved ones. The claim that he was killed by a COVID-19 vaccination is especially outrageous, given that he contracted the virus in March 2020, while working in Texas.
He was profoundly ill with COVID-19, and experienced respiratory failure, with one doctor saying, “Every organ in his body was affected.” After receiving care for eight months at UT Health and Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, Synnott finally returned home to England in December 2020.
Brice-Bennett died on June 2, 2021. The New Valley News, a local newspaper based in South Wiltshire and North Dorset in England, reported that he had been found unconscious in a mountain biking park in Tidworth, Wiltshire, and was later pronounced dead by paramedics. A coroner’s inquest was told that a postmortem examination had found Brice-Bennett had suffered from “abdominal trauma and haemoperitoneum,” which is a kind of internal abdominal bleeding.
Mercer died on May 4, 2021. His loved ones have set up a memorial page to help defray funeral costs. A person with direct knowledge of the circumstances surrounding Mercer’s death told Snopes unequivocally that it had no connection whatsoever with COVID-19 vaccination.
Many adults in the U.K. have been partially or fully vaccinated against COVID-19, as of the summer of 2021. Therefore, a reasonable likelihood exists that some or all of the British Airways pilots who died in May and June 2021 had been vaccinated.
As it happens, though, we found no specific evidence that that was the case, and no one claiming the pilots were “killed by the COVID vaccines” has presented any such evidence, except for the anonymous, second- or third-hand account contained in the voicemail message promulgated online in June 2021. Neither has anyone presented any scientific explanation as to how, precisely, COVID-19 vaccination supposedly killed the pilots.
As we have shown, we know that in at least three cases, clear alternative explanations existed for the deaths, and British Airways has unequivocally stated that the four deaths were not linked, a clarification the airline provided in the knowledge that, if it was inaccurate, it could be readily contradicted by friends and loved ones of the pilots, to the significant public shame and embarrassment of the company. Taking all these factors into account, the claim that four British Airways pilots were killed by COVID-19 vaccination, in May and June 2021, is false.

You do realize I laid out the argument that clearly shows vaccination offers substantial protection against the delta variant.
The reality is I'm closer to you on the vaccine then what you might think. I have said many times I do not think anyone under the age of 40 should get it and just let COVID run its course, do you disagree with that?
Ah Snolpes,the bastion of truth in enlightened times.

Well first my reply was to the person whose conclusion was that people vacced are 4x more likely to die than not vacced. I could have used your words of "stupid, brainwashing, retardation", but I was being nice to suggest Correlation does not also mean Causation.
Its people like you who do not look past a title and assume all kinds of things, and when you do look a little more its only to feed your confirmation bias and not actually learn, so who is ignorant here? Maybe its a Generation thing...
So your 4 pilots...will you freak'en research past some stupid unknown person saying the 4 died to the vaccine? But no, you read it and its now fact in your reaility.

Who is stupid now....

You on the other hand go off your rocker without even a nugget of information making wide claims on pretty much nothing.

Did you fail math?
80% >50 are fully vaccinated people, 50 deaths
20% >50 have had 0 or 1 jab only, 56 deaths (38 of which are unvax, 0 jabs)
Get it now?

But hospitals are still taking a huge hit due to having to treat the uninsured so they are not making money.

Why should anyone get the vaccine? Seems like it does absolutely nothing other than cause issues.
Also, why get an experimental gene therapy if there are viable therapeutics like ivermectin?

Like UK, 90% of new China Virus cases in Israel are Delta variant...so this is germane:
Half of Adults Infected in Latest COVID-19 Outbreak Were Fully Vaccinated: Israeli Official
About 90 percent of new COVID-19 infections in Israel were caused by the CCP virus’s Delta variant, officials said, while adding that about half of the adults infected in the recent outbreak were fully vaccinated.

If accurate...being "vaccinated" does absolutely nothing to protect one from being infected.

I don't know, maybe because it appears you are hundreds of times more likely to die if you are at risk if you don't take it ... maybe thousands of times more likely.

The information is out there, but Snopes was just an easy/quick way. As you get done changing your underwear are you suggesting they are incorrect?

They claim that the drugs simply MIGHT lessen the severity of symptoms.
