This post gives me the chance to comment on something I've noticed. When they say each dose of the Covid vax increases your chance of dying by 7%, they don't mean that it increases the individual who received the shot's chance of dying (when? In a week? A month? A year?) by 7%, they mean that the overall deathrate goes up by 7% for those who have taken a single shot above the normal deathrate for the unvaxxed general population. That is, 7% more deaths in a given period for the vaxxed than the number of deaths for the same grouping who are unvaxxed. At least, that's how I understand it. Tell me if I'm wrong.

A year?) by 7%, they mean that the overall deathrate goes up by 7% *for those who have taken a single shot* above the normal deathrate for the unvaxxed general population. That is, 7% more deaths in a given period for the vaxxed than the number of deaths for the same grouping who are unvaxxed. At least, that's how I understand it. Tell me if I'm wrong.
That is the way I read it. Death rate goes up with higher vax rate in a region.
