That is not a huge surprise since deaths lag cases by several weeks. See

to circle back around on the discussion on previous pages, the test groups for the vaccine were more than enough to convince people its safe, but it wasn't adequate to determine the efficacy in preventing transmission?  |
You are still hung up about the test population huh?

I know people here get triggered in seemingly any questioning of the vaccine, however I find it kind of funny that the complete opposite is true in that people are completely willing, and in fact, begging to be injected with somthing they haven’t the slightest clue as to what it actually does.

What it does is prevent you from getting COVID-19 symptoms and improve mortality and morbidity. I think everyone knows that.

Asymptomatic individuals still produce aerosol when they breath and talk. Aerosol that can carry the virus.

I mean if you have reduced symptoms, you are less likely to generate and spread aerosol that could infect others.
