4. Calculate the death rate: Divide the number of deaths by the total person-time at risk.
So, does that mean an unvaxxed person would be at zero risk since they didn't take the vax? Which leads to division by zero, which makes an infinite number of unvaxxed deaths. Oy Vey. Please tell AI that I don't get it. 🤖

Say there are 1000 unvaxxed people and we are counting deaths over a time interval of 1 year. Say 50 of them die during that year.
The person-time at risk = 1000 people times 1 year = 1000 person-years
The number of deaths is 50
So the death rate is 50 per 1000 person-years or 0.5 per 100000 person-years
That one's on me - if I got that wrong we both have to go back to AI school!
