There are several factors at play here, including a rising share of the population that is vaccinated, waning immune protection and low uptake of boosters, and changes in immunity among the unvaccinated. New variants combined with a reduction in masking and other non-pharmaceutical interventions may also lead to more transmission, which can in turn lead to more deaths.
During the early rollout of vaccines, vaccinated people represented a small share of total deaths, but experts warned that the share would likely rise simply because vaccinated people were representing a growing share of the population. In other words, if 100% of people in the U.S. were vaccinated, vaccinated people would represent 100% of COVID-19 deaths. Similarly, as the share of the population with a booster rose somewhat during 2022, the share of deaths among boosted people also rose. COVID-19 vaccines are very effective at preventing severe illness and death, but they are not perfect, so deaths among vaccinated people will still occur.
Indeed, vaccinated people now make up the majority of the population ? 79% of adults have completed at least the primary series ? and the latest CDC data show that vaccinated people also now represent the majority of COVID-19 deaths. There are many more vaccinated people than there are unvaccinated people, and vaccinated and boosted people are, on average, older and more likely to have underlying health conditions that put them at risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes. That?s why, when CDC adjusts for some of these factors (age and population size), we still see that unvaccinated people are at much greater risk of death and other severe outcomes than people the same age who have stayed up-to-date on boosters. Older people are at greater risk for severe illness and death from COVID-19 than younger people, but vaccines and boosters still lower that risk substantially.

David, do you actually read and understand what it is that you're posting?
If your post weren't so pathetic, it could be funny!
The way your post reads, if 100% of the population were vaccinated against covid then 100% of the covid deaths would be of vaccinated people. I have to agree with that but 100% of the population will never be vaccinated against covid.
The bottom line is if YOU want to get vaccinated then go for it! I've had covid TWICE ( the original and the new and improved). In fact, the first time that I got it, it was in January of 2020 and my Dr. didn't know what was wrong. He thought that I had a bad case of the flu! In May of 2020, I went for my yearly physical and was asked if I wanted a vaccination. When I told him that I had already had covid and refused it, he checked me for the antibodies and told me that I had more antibodies in my system than he did and HE had the vaccine!
I'll stand by my research and you spin it in any way that makes you feel good about yourself!
