re: We don't know how many people died FROM Covid, therefore can't know Vax effectiveness

The CDC recently stated that something like 2.6% of overall deaths attributed to CoviD have causes on the death certificates that cannot reasonably be contributed to CoviD.

The numbers get worse the younger you get, with 30% of the pediatric deaths counted as having causes that should not be contributed to CoviD.

A small proportion (9,638; 2.5%) of death certificates had co-occurring diagnosis codes that could not be plausibly categorized as either a chain-of-event or significant contributing condition. This finding was more frequent among decedents aged <18 years (64; 35.2%) and 18–29 years (145; 10.2%); these age groups represented only 0.4% (1,608) of all death certificates.
