… the CDC had received reports of 5,914 vaccine breakthrough cases.
Of those, 1,141 fully vaccinated people had died from COVID-19, and of 5,601 had been hospitalized.

If I’m reading this right, breakthrough cases have a 19% chance of dying and almost all resulted in hospitalization.
You are, but it is important to realize that for some reason the CDC is no longer asking doctors and hospitals to report cases if the patient is vaccinated unless the patient is very sick and/or hospitalized. So the data has been changed and now you only see reports of serious COVID-19 cases for vaccinated people, and every case for non-vaccinated people.
That decision makes understanding what is really happening from an epidemiology and medical point of view very difficult.
Another strange decision by the government. Somebody should ask Dr. Fauci why they decided to do that.
