I am not comparing vaccinated versus all covid cases like they did on this site. Because the data is from January until now, but we didn’t reach 50% vaccinated until this summer, the “unvaxxed” is heavily overepresented and skews the data.
So, I used actual case numbers, deaths and hospitalized for each group.
Vaccinated:
Cases - 40175
Hospitalizations of those cases - 1414 (3.52%)
Deaths - 277 (.6%)
Unvaccinated and under vaccinated
Cases - 702,951
Hospitalized- 29,655 (4.22%)
Deaths - 7558 (1%)

Interesting! You calculated that if someone is hospitalized, they appear to have similar odds of surviving whether they are vaccinated or not.
But the advantage of the vaccine is to avoid hospitalization, which is what your numbers indicate. 29,665 unvaxxed hospitalizations vs. 1414 vaxxed hospitalizations.
But you’re right— totals are skewed to before vaccines were in wide use.
I would kindly suggest finding recent data for your state. How many are in the hospital (or died) this week or month, and how many are vaccinated vs. unvaccinated. I guarantee you won’t find an even split of 50:50 vaccinated:unvaccinated in deaths or serious illness. It will likely be closer 82:18 vaccinated:unvaccinated. Which would be a 455% improvement, not 0.7%.
I appreciate you getting back and doing some of the research on your own. Hopefully you can see the point I’m trying to make.
