One recent item I saw was to the effect: "You know how dangerous Covid-19 vaccines are? Over 8% of patients in long term care homes who received at least one shot of a Covid-19 vaccine died within the year." A bit of digging came up with one number that was left out "patients 80+ in".

A bit of quick browsing on the Stats Canada site gives the 2019 annual death rate per 1000 for 80-84 at 49.1, 85-89 at 88.8 and over age 90 at 188.4.
