Well, it depends on which death rate your talking about. The death rate from covid? Or the death rate of generally being alive? And it depends on over what period of time.

I was referring to the rate from COVID. My point being that the 85% number is completely useless without knowing from what to what.

For example. If you told me it went from 1 in a trillion to .15 in a trillion, I wouldn't give 2 fricks(extreme example for the purposes of illustration)

About 1% of the people who got placebo died. And about .15% of the people who got the vaccine died.

This is an odd number. Do you mean died if they got COVID, or died at all?

But it's statistical proof across multiple studies that vaccines prevent death.

Well, I never argued differently. But, you still didn't really answer the question. Moreover, a general answer to the question is also somewhat useless because the risk of death for a 70 year old is exponentially higher than for a 30 year old. Which is why I would probably recommend a 70 year old get the vaccine. The difference (from what to what) is far larger.
