But the sick and old (hospitals and nursing homes) got vaccinated first.
Untrue. They were prioritized but not the only ones vaccinated.
Sadly, there are no numbers with age groups that could give an answer. However, there must be an explanation for the numbers. The numbers were provided by a government agency that monitors German health insurance companies. An alternative explanation could be a large-scale billing fraud by German health insurance companies.
There are: I have family working there who administered them. They did not do it like the US where it was strictly to the elderly and healthcare, only "prioritized."
There is no central database about who is vaccinated in Germany (because of privacy concerns), so we ill never know the exact numbers. We have the British numbers and the Brits initially claimed that the higher death count among vaccinated people was because they vaccinated the elderly first. Later, they stopped releasing the numbers, so we don't know if younger vaccinated were affected too.
If it wasn't the elderly who died "suddenly" in Q1 2021, then there is either another explanation, or the diagram is based on wrong numbers. But the numbers are the official numbers of a German government agency.
