...because vaccinated people now make up a majority of people?

Why the clickbaity title that seems explicitly designed to raise animosity when the conclusions are as a pro-vaccine person might expect? To like cause fights when an anti-vaxxer posts it without reading or something?

So a double oxymoron?

A majority of people are vaccinated against measles. Do vaccinated people make up a majority of measles deaths too? If not, then that can't be why.

I don't know if I understand your comment. If 100% of people were vaccinated against covid, then 100% of covid deaths would have to be among vaccinated people, wouldn't they? Now it may be that the measles vaccine is 100% effective for all I know, so maybe no vaccinated people get it. But covid vaccinated people do get (and die from) covid, so more vaccinated people means a higher percentage of deaths will be among vaccinated people.

But it can be due to age skew, e.g. older vaccinated people dying at higher rates than younger unvaccinated people. It would be interesting to see rates per age cohort.

Combined with young people being less likely to die, and therefore less likely to be vaccinated.

Looks like vaccination is roughly equivalent to being 30 years younger.
