You do realise that the average age of a covid death was 82.
That's higher than general life expectancy.
Average is largely irrelevant when looking at who should get vaccinated or not.
The average age of a covid death was 82......it's relevant.
Do you know who was recommended to get the vaccines?

What if the vaccine did what it did to the 14 year old Japanese girl?
Would people still be interested in getting it?
Will you take whatever you are offered?

How can anyone be sure of the benefit or risk of taking a novel (new mechanism) vaccine??
Did you have a 1 in 800 chance of dying from covid?

At least in your country they are no longer offering any vaccine to those who are under 75.
Wrong again.
People aged 75 years and older, residents in care homes for older people, and those aged 5 years and over with a weakened immune system will be offered a booster of coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine this spring.

There is a risk everytime you take any medicine.
It's the balance between the risk and benefit.

Not for getting the vaccine it isnt.
As a hypothetical example if a virus killed 90% of people over 50 and 1% of people under 50 then you are going to have a high average age of death.
However if the vaccine resulted in death 0.01% of the time then it would still be in people under 50 interest to get it.
As I said not familar enough with Japans vaccination policy so dont know what age they recomend from.

Any evidence for this other than your unsubstantiated opinions. Leave the maths out of it as you have confused your arguments for once more.
The UK is no longer offering any of the Covid vaccines to those under the age of 75. Unless they are immunosuppressed or having some medical conditions.

When you signed your consent form were you informed that the pre rollout trials showed 1 in 800 chance of a serious adverse event?
Was it an uninformed consent form that you signed?
