Using percentage of total population is a strong move for propaganda purposes. It greatly irritates me that the media has been parroting those figures. They serve no practical purpose until a pandemic is over, as they'll simply grow by the day.
A meaningful number would be Vaccinated infections, hospitalizations and deaths VS Non in recent days / weeks.
Let's do some simple math then. .0001% of the vaccinated dying from COVID means 1 in 1 million. AFAIK about 165 million have been vaccinated. Meaning about ~165 vaccinated people have died from COVID. Around 310,000 people have died from COVID since the vaccines were introduced.
The remaining calculation is more complicated due to the change in the percentage of the population being vaccinated over time. But we're looking at a ballpark of .1% of the COVID deaths, or 1 in 1000, being vaccinated, with half the population currently vaccinated and half unvaccinated. Another way of expressing it is, if you died, there's about a 99.9% chance you were unvaccinated.
Another stat published a couple days back says the unvaccinated account for 97% of covid hospitalizations, based on recent data.
