Of those that do die, how many were vaccinated for the disease versus not vaccinated? Without this information a person cannot make a logical decision about the current benefits of each vaccine.

You never did show me this information. It sounded like you had it.

Of the 3030 deaths per year (3000 from influenza) the other 30 from all the rest, I was not able to find current numbers for those that were vaccinated versus not vaccinated. If I would try to quote numbers I remember seeing over a decade ago I would most likely mess up some of the numbers so I will not attempt it. But the bigger point is we are talking about 30 deaths a year (not counting influenza)...not something that should be causing “panic” in the doctor's waiting room that we might catch something that should have been vaccinated for. I did notice something while on the CDC site...they listed the different vaccines and there effectiveness...eight out of ten vaccinated people would be protected, nine out of ten vaccinated people would be protected, etc...vaccinations are one tool for good health but it is not 100% effective.
