In my post arguing that elderly vaccination saved lives, I presented the following chart as evidence that vaccine effectiveness has been overestimated. It shows a large spike in excess mortality in South Korea, coinciding with the country’s Omicron wave.

The red line indicates the date by which 90% of over 80s were double-vaccinated.
