Compare the death rate per 100,000 (two rightmost columns in the two bottom tables).
I’m interested in the number of deaths, not the number of deaths attributed to the wuhan coronavirus.

You’re not supposed to notice that the death rates are so much greater in the unvaccinated.
It seems like some of the information must be missing or out of context.
What the article seems to be drawing attention to are the two columns showing, on the one hand, the unvaccinated, and on the other, those who’ve had more than two doses of a vaccine more than 14 days previously (the columns with the red boxes).
Comparing those, the death rates (so far) seem lower for those younger than 50 who have taken two doses of a vaccine, but then are higher for older people.
As the article says:
“1,270 out of 1,500 [80-year-olds] were fully vaccinated. 607 of the 70-year-olds out of 800 were fully vaccinated. 258 out of the 411 60-year-olds… they were almost all fully vaccinated.”
Given those numbers, it’s hard to see how the numbers in the last two columns were arrived at. If among 80-year-olds, there were 192 deaths among the unvaccinated, but 1,272 among those who had the two doses during the weeks in question, then where does the much lower death rate per 100,000 people come from for the vaccinated? Some explanation must be missing. Perhaps it’s somewhere in the actual report but not mentioned in this article.
