Agree. I lack time to reproduce from ourwordindata.org site his charts. Maybe later I will find the precise links and post them here. In meantime I just collected in one small PDF here his charts:

deaths by age and vax US april 2024 Goldstein.pdf
 

 

If I recall correctly, one was considered fully vaccinated only after two weeks have passed since their second mRNA shot.
If a person got the shot(s) but died before they would have been counted as fully vaccinated the death was counted as an "unvaccinated".

Unless they have corrected for the above when creating the charts I personally have a hard time trusting such data.

It was two weeks after the 2nd shot before anyone was considered vaccinated - so basically a month (4 weeks). If you got sick with COVID during the month or died from the injections, you were considered unvaccinated. In addition, very few IFR studies tested for prior infection.

Any idea where in ourworldindata.org Dr. Goldstein found those charts? Personally I'd like to see the charts, claimed to be at a specific link, when I click the link. When I click Dr. Goldstein's link, I see no charts. If the charts are actually somewhere  at  ourworldindata.org then Dr. Goldstein should have linked to the specific page(s) so the reader can look at them in context.

"For more even comparison, it would be best to keep the increments on the Y axis the same for all graphs. This would more accurately reflect the actual difference, and then show the age groups that were affected more substantially by vaccination. Also need to break out the clinical variables of the people in the age groups to see who benefited the most within any age group."

 

All valid criticisms as to why Dr. Goldstein's post is garbage.

 

 

Here is the link from where he took the graphs ( go to "Data on COVID-19 mortality by vaccination status. Here we combine the official mortality data by vaccination status published by the United States, England, Switzerland, and Chile. These charts are no longer updated since August 2023." )

 

You can change interactively the age group to reproduce the graphs of his post.
