Those numbers AREN'T specifically numbers of people who died because of the drug. They are people who died AFTER taking the drug. Now, consider for a moment that a lot of people who are older got the drug.
Absent any particular trigger, 1% of the population ages 55-64 dies every year; 2% of the population ages 65-74; 5% of the population ages 75-84, and 14% of the population ages 85 and up.

The cohort of people ages 55-64, of whom many were vaccinated, is a little more than 40 million Americans. Without any special extra cause of mortality, we'd expect .5% of them to die every six months (go hug your parents now!), which means a little more than 200,000 deaths, or on a weekly basis, 8,000 people aged 55-64 die, from all sorts of causes. So, if VAERS is tracking deaths of people who got vaccinated in the last 2 weeks, there are thousands of potential deaths that happen, and would have without the vaccine.

The VAERS numbers are mostly statistical noise. INSIDE those numbers, there may be a much smaller number of vaccine-caused adverse events (and note, not all the "adverse events" VAERS tracks are deaths). Before you go fear-mongering about that data, understand it. Right now, it's as if you're saying that ice cream is deadly because everyone who eats ice cream eventually dies. The second point doesn't prove the first point.
And thanks, I'll bring this to my math class.
