Faulty Logic Compares Declaration of Death By COVID to Declaration of Death By Vaccine

Shortly after the approval of the coronavirus vaccines in 2020, a number of users began to claim that if vaccine deaths were counted in the same way as coronavirus deaths, the toll would be monumental. This claim relies on the assumption that a coronavirus death is counted as any death that occurs after a person tested positive for coronavirus, even if other factors caused the death.

Social media posts making this claim have managed to gain thousands of interactions and keep on appearing frequently. One recent post managed to gain over 3,300 likes and 1,300 reposts within 12 hours.
