They reported lower deaths from COVID vs. vaccines because they didn't have rampant COVID but also had high vaccination rates, it really was that simple, and it is damaging (and strictly incorrect) to discuss this 'data point' without the appropriate context. Because of this, the vaccine looks like an 'unnecessary risk' until you start getting major outbreaks. And calling this a 'divisive topic' lends too much credence to anti-vax dogma
