My question is, at a much lower rate for who? Certainly not the people who died after getting the vaccine. I realize that such studies are meant to account for this question demographically and such, but that data can be twisted and baked as you like.

My point here was that those people getting strokes from the vaccine may indeed, for reasons we do not understand, in fact be far more likely to get strokes from the vaccine than others, and far less likely to get stroke from covid (or get covid at all) than others.

So, yes, for some people, the vaccine may present less a risk of stroke than covid, but for others, it may indeed be the opposite. Until we understand the mechanics of all that, it's reckless to simply state that everyone is less likely to suffer stroke from vaccine than covid. That's just not supported by the science.

Those dying from a vaccine-induced stroke may, for whatever reason, be very resistant to covid.
