It might help to do the math on this. I won't, because a) it's too much math for me and b) I'm not concerned enough to try. But here's what you need to figure out:

1. Of all the people who DO get COVID, how many actually display symptoms?
2. Of all the people who get COVID and display symptoms, how many of them display serious symptoms requiring hospitalization and/or a morgue?

Now - Of all people who get COVID, display symptoms, and need hospitalization and/or a morgue, how many of them were vaccinated?

My guess is that of that 5% of all vaccinated people who get COVID anyway, less than 1% will have serious symptoms requiring hospitalization and/or a morgue.

Now - of ALL people who have gotten a vaccine, how many people, the actual quantity, is represented by the 1% of the 5%?

NOW - figure out if that 1% of the 5% is statistically significant. I'm guessing it won't be.
