According to the article about 500 vaccinated people died of COVID over a 30 day period. According to CDC on average around 500 people a day died of COVID in same time period. The vaccinated accounted for 1/29 of the deaths, the unvaccinated accounted for 28/29 of the deaths. Sounds like a successful vaccine.
Again, this comparison is not valid; among certain groups, COVID is highly dangerous; the vaccine is reported to be safe and effective. This means that if one is vaccinated, it won't cause problems that lead to death and that, once vaccinated, one shouldn't contract COVID.
The truest approach is unfortunately not available to us - the alternate timeline.
Ideally, if 10,000 who haven't had COVID did nothing, and 7000 caught COVID and 10 die, that's one number. If we could then go back in time, take those 10,000 people and vaccinate them, and none or 1 die we have the other number.
Of the vaccinated people, how many of them have already had COVID? Is the CDC number worldwide, or in America? The COVID cases have been steadily dropping in America, but in places like India, there has been a surge.
For myself, I believe that the vaccine can be helpful to some groups, but I hate the idea of forcing it on people.
If one has not had COVID and is in an at-risk group, I would urge them to consider getting the vaccine. I would not vaccinate my children against COVID (because children are not an at-risk group).
