The dataset he used was from the pay-per-dose program and represented 4 out of 12 million doses administered in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The claim is based on the observation that mortality increased after the shot for those over 60.

What he doesn\u2019t know is if those in his dataset are a random sampling of everyone who received the vaccine or a sampling of a more vulnerable population.
