These are all very small numbers from a snapshot in time. Even the nonvaccinated numbers will look good in absolute numbers over a brief time span. But even with a presumably skewed vaccinated group (probably the sick and old), 99% of deaths were in un/undervaccinated people, and I bet the mean vaccination rate over that time was 30 percent of adults over 40 (conservatively).
