When there's a vaccine death, pre-existing conditions are mentioned, but when there's a covid death, nothing is mentioned - please explain

For the record I'm not an anti-vaxxer or a conspiracy nut, but I have noticed this....

Whenever there's a vaccine death, the news report nearly always mentions pre-existing health conditions, but covid deaths barely mentioned any at all.... this is puzzling me and wondered if anyone else had noticed this?

Personally I think that pretty much every news story around covid deaths or hospitalisations has really pushed the fact that the person had health conditions or they were obese, almost like they didnt matter because of this.

I think initially the risk factors for covid death were pushed and publicised. Comorbidities are quite hard to discuss when the numbers are in tens, hundreds or thousands. Would be a long article.

I was thinking the exact opposite. Very little said about any co-morbilities with vaccine deaths. Why is that?

Exactly, apparently, we have 130k extra dead people that "were going to die anyway" or "he died at 82, but the average age of death is 82" or "he was run over but it had Covid on the death cert". Lots of reports of absolute BS, trying to play down the deaths as not due to covid, largely by the far-right press (which is most of the press).

Come to think of it, I don't actually think I've heard it once that any "blood clot" vaccine death has even mentioned pre-existing conditions, maybe because there's only been one in a million.

Not much talk about covid being 10x more likely to cause blood clots than vaccines either, or that antibodies may even be a reason for the clotting, regardless of whether it comes from covid or the vaccine. Also, that if people don't get a vaccine then their chance of getting covid is high, which makes the 10x chance of blood clots even worse.

Are you on a windup?
You can’t have been paying much attention over the past year if you think underlying health conditions is rarely mentioned in terms of covid deaths....
Apologies in advance if you actually aren’t on a fishing trip...
