    The (USA) CDC data shows that 94% of the deaths occurred where people had an average of 2.6 comorbidities (diabetes, renal/cardiovascular diseases, lung diseases such as pneumonia, etc). Typically the persons were aged 70 and above (very few exceptions). Despite this, NOT A SINGLE vaccine manufacturer has clarified how their vaccine will fare against multiple comorbidities. Many countries (including Germany) have said that there is no evidence the vaccine has been tested against people over the age of 65! Naturally, not a single person I have spoken to has any trust in these vaccines.
