All lives are only saved in the medium term, humans age and die. > the risk of death almost doubled for those who had been vaccinated Not when you adjust for age. People who survived COVID after vaccination being an older population then end up dying faster, but few people die in any given year. Doubling the base death rate suggests the populations will equalize in roughly 35 years. Though some people who survived the vaccine will still be alive in 40 years. PS: The 8% decrease and doubling are looking at wildly different underlying populations/rates.
