Australia and Niger both have populations of 25 million.
One country has a high covid death rate and the other a low covid death rate.
One country also has a high vaccination rate and the other a low vaccination rate.
Are the rates connected?
Population: 25,789,297 (rise of 6% since pandemic!)
8,908 cases
309 deaths
Fully vaccinated: 1,547,552
Covid death rate per vaccination: 1 in 5,000
Doses administered: 2,689,995
Covid death per dose: 1 in 8,705
Population: 26,034,737 (rise of 2% since pandemic!)
54,137 cases
6,893 deaths
Fully vaccinated: 21,280,501
Covid death rate per vaccination: 1 in 3,000
Doses given: 56,587,064
Covid death per dose: 1 in 8,209
The difference in the death rate per dose is 6% which due to errors in reporting is statistically insignificant.
(This does not correlate across other nations, so seems a coincidence. More on other nations calc later)
