In the United states, approximately 8,159 die each day of a total population of 329,064,917

This means odds of death for any random human in the USA are 0.00247%

Currently, 197,081,471 people have been vaccinated. Using those odds, We would expect .00247% of people recieving the vaccine to die within 1 day.

Extrapolating that to 3 days, roughly 0.00741% of people will randomly die after getting the vaccine. That means we should expect, simply from random chance, that roughly 0.0000741*197,081,471 people to have died within 3 days of the vaccine, or 14604 people.

HOWEVER, the vaccine is not equally distributed among all folks: Older people are more likely to have been vaccinated, as well as those who are sick or in poor health.

So basically, a bunch of old and sick people died after getting the vaccine because they are old and sick.

That should go for covid too, mainly older people dying from it which is no surprise, maybe they would have died anyway, they say 1% die from it, that is higher than 0.002% but that's not how many die from it each day.
