'No link between jabs and elderly deaths'...while doubts mount over vaccines for older people.

When the elderly and those with multiple pre-existing conditions have died after testing positive with the RT-PCR test, they've been counted as a Covid-19 death, regardless of how bad their health was already. This week, Captain Sir Tom Moore sadly died at the age of 100, after battling pneumonia for several weeks, but, because he tested positive within the last 28 days, he'll go into the pandemic stats.
But it's a different matter when the elderly and/or frail die after having a vaccine. Then, the two are unrelated. The fact that a foreign agent was injected into their body shortly before they died is a mere coincidence.
Following reports that dozens of mainly elderly people had died in Norway and other European countries after receiving a first shot of the vaccine, the the EU’s medicines regulator, The European Medicines Agency, looked into the matter and concluded:
"The Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus jab has no link to reported post-vaccination deaths and no new side effects"....."the data did not show a link to vaccination and the cases do not raise a safety concern".
“In many cases concerning individuals above 65 years of age, progression of (multiple) pre-existing diseases seemed to be a plausible explanation for death.” - EMA
So, if an elderly and/or frail person dies after having the vaccine, the two are unrelated because they were going to die anyway, but if they test positive for Covid-19 - regardless of whether they actually have any symptoms - and then die, they're popped into the pandemic death stats. Right.
And yet:
"It's not impossible that some of those who have gotten the vaccine are so frail that maybe you should have reconsidered and not given them the vaccine, because they are so sick that they might have become worse from the normal side effects as the body reacts and builds up immunity." - Camilla Stoltenberg, Director of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health
Then there's a question in Europe over the efficacy of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine:
Germany's vaccine committee has said AstraZeneca's Covid jab should only be given to people aged under 65. The committee cited "insufficient data" over its efficacy for older people. - BBC
Of course there's insufficient data over efficacy for older people. In the trial, less than 4% of participants were older than 70.
Isn't it rather ironic that the very people who make up the bulk of the Covid-19 death figures - the elderly and frail, particularly those in nursing homes; the vulnerable group who are most badly affected by the virus and drove the 'need' for a vaccine - are now the group that experts are recommending aren't given the vaccine?
