You are misreading the data. This page explains it more. The vaccinated are less likely to die or to be hospitalised.

Exactly, data means nothing when one cannot read it carefully.
Why your post is false /u/magnora7 - Let's make an example:
you have 90% people vaccinated and 10% not
10% of vaccinated die due to covid, it makes 10% of 90% of population, so 9% of whole population dies.
90% of unvaccinated die due to covid. 90% of 10% ddies, so 9% of whole population dies.
Overally, 18% dies. 9% of deaths are unvaccinated, 9% deaths are vaccinated. That's where antivaxers shout and spread their fake news.
But having in mind, that vaccinated people make 90% of whole population, everything changes.
Vaccines work, if you want it or not.
Here is Singapore, for example: https://www.moh.gov.sg/covid-19/statistics - look at „Proportion (%) of cases who died, by age and vaccination status”

It's been my biggest growing frustration of the past years that people on the internet argue and post statistics and research papers when they do not understand what is being said at all. It's like arguing with teenagers as they call you a moron eventhough it's them not understanding what is happening.

Covid just made it more clear that most people can not interpret raw data or understand the context and nuance of research papers.

Yes, and we, who more or less understand it, are here to help our society with understanding it :)
