Saw a table that showed vaxxed and boosted 80 year olds have a lower death rate from covid than unvaxxed 25 year olds.
Other hand I think about 1 in 50 people over 75 have died from covid in the US.

It doesn't seem to hold for deaths, but 80+yos with a booster have lower hospitalization and ICU rates than 12-29yos with no vaccination. Tables 6 and 8.
It sounds plausible, as the AHS definition of a Covid death is:
"A death resulting from a clinically compatible illness, in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death identified (e.g., trauma, poisoning, drug overdose). A Medical Officer of Health or relevant public health authority may use their discretion when determining if a death was due to COVID-19, and their judgement will supersede the above criteria. A death due to COVID-19 may be attributed when COVID-19 is the cause of death or is a contributing factor."
Sounds totally unsupported from all I've read. Have a source?
Here's that data for the UK (in section 4): https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsde...
Maybe the unvaxxed 25 year olds where you live are spectacularly unhealthy.
