Excellent work, and Congratulations. It is critically important that you discussed the mortality results in the Pfizer and Moderna gold-standard randomized clinical trials (the ONLY truly unbiased data on the mortality effect of mRNA vaccination)- which almost everyone else conveniently ignored.
COVID deaths: 2 vaccine vs. 5 placebo (-60%)
non-COVID deaths: 29 vaccine vs. 25 placebo (+16%)
cardiovascular-related deaths: 16 vaccine vs. 11 placebo (+45%)
Overall: 4 excess non-COVID deaths for every 3 less COVID deaths (i.e. 4 KILLED FOR EVERY 3 SAVED)
A 16% increase in non-COVID mortality and a 45% increase in cardiovascular-related mortality (and a net result of "4 killed for every 3 saved") absolutely do have PRACTICAL significance in the context of these vaccines given to many millions of people, regardless of the typical cop-out regarding "statistical significance". See this piece on common misuses of the flawed concept of "statistical significance" written by Dr. Sander Greenland, one of the most respected voices in statistics and epidemiology: https://www.jvsmedicscorner.com/Statistics_files/Retire%20statistical%20significance.pdf.
Getting a paper through peer review these days is like an underground railroad.
