Sure, I admit that I don't keep up with everything. But I think the notion that the higher death rate in vaccinated population has already been addressed elsewhere a few months ago. You can see the links below for this. After reading them again, I find that their arguments make sense.

For the 0.05% infection reduction, I believe it refers to absolute risk reduction? Similarly, I think this concern has been addressed elsewhere, where the relative risk reduction is more important when looking at vaccine efficacy. Of course, the absolute risk reduction has its purpose, so I think it's best to take both risk reductions into account, not just one.
