That’s a pretty silly assumption. Those numbers are low enough it could just as easily be exigent reasons (autoimmune diseases, compromised immune systems). 2x more kids die from congenital anomalies. About the same number for heart heart defects per year. [1]

Those numbers can easily be intermixed. Not to mention kids with severe asthma or other respiratory diseases.

There’s no data that would say vaccinations would have done anything for those 499 people.

Not to mention the way many did a lot of these stats is if someone had covid and died from any cause, they were often included in the numbers.
