For the latest week in the chart, your rate of dying of any cause by age per 100,000:

Ageunvaccinatedfully vaccinated
10-590.9 2.2
60-6924.0 12.8
70-7959.6 37.2
80 + 214.4 157.4

If you average for all the weeks covered in the spreadsheet:

Ageunvaccinatedfully vaccinated
10-591.81.8
60-6935.58.3
70-79106.726.2
80 + 480.8115.9

My conclusions: It was a good idea to get vaccinated if you were over 60 wanted to avoid dying for the period covered. (2021 thru Sept. 24).

If you were under 60 there was no real benefit from getting vaccinated.

The benefit of being vaccinated looks like it's declining. (Current values less than average values), which can probably be most simply described as the vaccines being less effective over time.

I got my data from "Chart 4" of the spreadsheet linked above.

You can't conclude that from this data.

As the researchers pointed out in their footnote, since many younger people weren't eligible for the vaccine during the data collection period the 10-59 vaccinated population is on average older than the unvaccinated, so you would expect their all cause mortality rate to be higher.

It isn't an apples-to-apples comparison.
