Actually the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups can be a lot different. For example in this study of veterans, people who were tested negative and didn't get covid were 0.96 likely to live 26 weeks for vaccinated and 0.88 likely for unvaccinated.

So if you took this into account that 2.6x would be even smaller, because the unvaccinated who died were likely to die from something else. Maybe they had 10 comorbidities and had already checked out, or their immune system was nuked and they'd die from somebody looking at them wrong.

What should be done is look at individuals. These national healthcare govs could take every death, calculate their odds of dying from 'old age', and compare those vax vs unvax. They calculate this number anyway even if they don't tell it to you, but have you ever seen any study that actually looked at individuals? It would take 2 minutes for the IT guy to run this database query, but nobody's done it? Weird.
